Very simple onclick not firing.

creating divs in a loop containing the classes:

class=person glyphicon glyphicon-user

and i've tried selecting the class the only way i know

$('.person')click(function(){

console.log(something;

});

it just won't work, i can however print them all with the same selector, and i can fire onclick events on

$('body div').click

so its a div with class person, which leaves me clueless

thanks in advance.

edit: no browser errors, no action, nothing.
the method copy pasted from my code:

$('.person').click(function() {

    console.log(something);

});
