Event Handler Not Triggered on Click
Button or element has an onclick handler or click listener attached but clicking doesn't trigger it. The element responds to other interactions but the click handler isn't called. This often happens after dynamically adding elements or refactoring event binding.
Handler is defined and looks correct but isn't invoked when clicked.
Error Messages You Might See
Click handler not executing
Event listener attached but not triggered
Element doesn't respond to clicks
Common Causes
- Event listener attached before element exists in DOM
- Element dynamically added after event listener registration
- Element has pointer-events: none CSS, preventing interaction
- Element covered by invisible overlay with higher z-index
- Event handler throws error silently, execution stops
How to Fix It
Verify element exists before attaching listener: querySelector should find it. Use event delegation (attach to parent) for dynamically added elements. Check CSS: pointer-events should not be 'none'. Look for overlays in dev tools inspector. Add console.log to handler to confirm it's called. Use addEventListener with passive flag: addEventListener('click', handler, {passive: true})

Jacek Rozanski
Senior PHP/Symfony developer and DevOps engineer with 20+ years of professional experience, running opcode.pl (web development agency, est. 2004).
Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month.
What I bring to AI-built apps:
- I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0
- I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture)
- I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting
- I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth
Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code.
Based in Poland (CET timezone). Available for async work and calls during EU/US business hours.

I am a technologist and product builder dedicated to creating high-impact solutions at the intersection of AI and specialized markets. Currently, I am focused on PropScan (EstateGuard), an AI-driven SaaS platform tailored for the Japanese real estate industry, and exploring the potential of Archify.
As an INFJ-T, I approach development with a "systems-thinking" mindset—balancing technical precision with a deep understanding of user needs. I particularly enjoy the challenge of architecting Vertical AI SaaS and optimizing Small Language Models (SLMs) to solve specific, real-world business problems. Whether I'm in a CTO-level leadership role or hands-on with the code, I thrive on building tools that turn complex data into actionable value.
Caio Rodrigues
I'm a full-stack developer focused on building practical and scalable web applications. My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures.
I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations.
Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization.
I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.
My goal is always to deliver solutions that are **simple, efficient, and genuinely useful for the people using them.**

You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.
Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
How to attach handlers to dynamic elements?
Use event delegation: attach to parent that exists. document.addEventListener('click', (e) => { if (e.target.matches('.button')) { ... } })
How to debug if handler is called?
Add console.log at handler start. Check console when clicking. If not logged, handler not called.
What CSS blocks clicks?
pointer-events: none prevents clicks. display: none hides element. z-index lower than overlay covers element.
