Backbone JS Event from child view not firing - backbone.js

Question

I'd gone through most of the solution for this issue but still couldn't solve it. Please help me guys. T.T
My child event is not firing no matter how I configure it please guide me through it.
My parent is 'dayInfo' and I'm calling 'schedule' from the parent.
But the html button is not triggering the event.
///// schedule.html /////
<a class="ic-plus-circle add"></a>
///// schedule.js /////
define(function(require) {
var Backbone = require('backbone'),
User = require('models/User'),
css = require('text!views/dayInfo/schedule.css'),
tpl = require('text!views/dayInfo/schedule.html');
return Backbone.View.extend({
initialize: function(options) {
this.template = _.template(tpl);
var self = this;
return this;
},
render: function() {
var self = this;
self.$el.html(self.template());
return this;
},
events: {
'tap .add': function(e) {
console.log('success');
var self = this;
var $this = $(e.currentTarget);
console.log('tapped');
}
}
});
});
////// dayInfo.html /////
<div class="tab-content"></div>
////// dayInfo.js /////
define(function(require) {
var Backbone = require('backbone'),
ScheduleView = require('views/dayInfo/schedule'),
css = require('text!views/dayInfo/dayInfo.css'),
tpl = require('text!views/dayInfo/dayInfo.html');
return Backbone.View.extend({
id : 'dayInfo',
initialize: function(options) {
this.template = _.template(tpl);
var self = this;
return this;
},
render: function() {
var self = this;
self.$el.html(self.template());
self.$tabContent = self.$el.find('.tab-content');
self.scheduleView = new ScheduleView({date:self.date,doctor:self.doctor,appointments:self.appointments,events:self.events}).render();
self.$tabContent.html(self.scheduleView.$el);
}
});
});
I was expecting the console to throw 'tapped' whenever I click the button

There is no such thing as tap event, which is why it's not firing. See MDN - Touch events for list of available touch events.
You'll need to get a touch event plugin what works with jQuery to have custom events such as tap
