jquery .on("click") event fires only on the 2nd click

Hello,

           I am new to jquery. And I am trying to fire a click event when a link is clicked. But, the click event fires only on the 2nd click. Have any of you encountered this issue or direct me to resolve this issue? Here is the code I am using.

$( "#request_table" ).on( "click" , "#vm_details_link" , function (e) {



e.preventDefault();

alert("Click fired");

}

Thanks,

Naga
