jQuery .click function not working on < td > tag?

http://api.jquery.com/on/

Since you are creating the elements after the DOM has been created. Use the "on" selector to get the precise element that is dynamically created.

From the URL:

   $("#newTable").on("click", "td", function() {
     alert($( this ).text());
   });

Try like this :

$('body').on('click','td', function() {
        alert('clicked');
    });
