I have a JavaScript page that creates toggle buttons when the page loads, but i cannot use those buttons independently now because the id of the button is a column name on my database table. so i cannot know it beforehand, that is why i cannot assign a method or function on each button.

This is how the toggle button is created :

JavaScript

function createButtons(tbID, tbClass, tbType, tbValue, onClick) {
  return '\n<input' + (tbID ? ' id=\'' + tbID + '\'' : '') + 
    (tbClass ? ' class=\'' + tbClass + '\'' : '') + 
    (tbType ? ' type=\'' + tbType + '\'' : '') + 
    (tbValue ? ' value=\'' + tbValue + '\'' : '') + 
    (onClick ? ' onclick=\'' + onClick + '\'' : '') + '>';

}

function DisplayButtons(cableData) {
  var newContent = '';
  $.each(cableData, function (i, item) {
    function toggle() {
      $("#tb" + item.CommonCable)
        .clicked ? $('#MyElement')
        .addClass('clickedButton');
      $("#tb" + item.CommonCable)
        .removeClass("clickedButton");
      $('#MyElement')
        .toggleClass('MyClass');
    }
    newContent += createButtons("tb" + item.CommonCable, 
          null, "submit", item.CommonCable, toggle());
  });
  $("#Categories")
    .html(newContent);
}

NOTE : Anyone who can help ~~asap~~ ,how can i assign each function or method to each button ? : Or any other way i can use to create my toggle buttons ?

I would try using JQuery to bind the button to an event after creating it.

JavaScript

 function toggle() {
      $("#tb" + item.CommonCable)
        .clicked ? $('#MyElement')
        .addClass('clickedButton');
      $("#tb" + item.CommonCable)
        .removeClass("clickedButton");
      $('#MyElement')
        .toggleClass('MyClass');
    }

function DisplayButtons(cableData) {
  var newContent = '';
  $.each(cableData, function (i, item) {
       newContent += createButtons("tb" + item.CommonCable, 
                   null, "submit", item.CommonCable, toggle());
       $("#Categories").append(newContent);
       $("#tb" + item.CommonCable).click(function() { toggle() });
  });

}

You might have to clear out $("#Categories") first if you do this more than once, and be careful you append the buttons in the right order, but this should work. Assuming I understood what you were after.
