view.when(function(){ view.on("click", function () { doSomething = !doSomething;}); }); The above works as a global click event. *HOWEVER*, I am trying to specify a specific div elem not a global elem. *i.e.* The logic I'd like: view.when(function(){ view.on("click", #myDivElm function () { doSomething = !doSomething;}); });
