Modal window will not open after paginating retrieved data from the database

cmc1993 :

I have built an image gallery using the Bootstrap framework, php, SQL and jQuery where users can click a thumbnail to see their selected image enlarged inside a modal window. All the images are stored in a database. The code worked as expected until I paginated the gallery. Now, when a thumbnail is clicked, the modal window does not open. Can anyone suggest a fix for this problem? I have tried some solutions myself but none have worked so far. Many thanks.

gallery.php code:

<div class='row' id='pagination_data'>

    <!--Fetch and display images from database -->          
    <?php ?>

</div>   

<!--Bootstrap modal window -->
<div class="modal fade" id="imagemodal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-xl">
<div class="modal-content">              
  <div class="modal-body">
    <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal"><span aria-  hidden="true">&times;</span><span class="sr-only">Close</span></button>
    <img src="" class="imagepreview" style="width: 100%;" >
  </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

<script>
//PAGINATION SCRIPT 
$(document).ready(function(){

    //when fucntion is called fetch data from gallery table
    load_data();

    function load_data(page) {
         $.ajax({
            url:"pagination.php",
            method: "POST",
            data:{page:page},
            success:function(data){

                $('#pagination_data').html(data);

            }
        })
    }

    $(document).on('click', '.pagination_link', function()  {

        var page = $(this).attr("id");
        load_data(page);

    });

});

</script>

<script>
//MODAL SCRIPT
$(function() {
    $('.pop').on('click', function() {
        $('.imagepreview').attr('src', $(this).find('img').attr('src'));
        $('#imagemodal').modal('show');   
    });     
});

gre_gor :

$('.pop').on('click', function() { only attaches the handler to elements currently in DOM. Since you call it before you even retrieved the images it does nothing.

You need to use delegated event handlers.

 $(document).on('click', '.pop', function() {
