code:

$(function(){

$('.tab-link').click(function(){       alert('hello');  });  $('.tab-copy').click(function(){       var next=$(this).data("next");       $('#tabs-row-left').append('<div class=\"tab-folder\" id=\"idtab'+next+'\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"tab-link\" id=\"tab'+next+'\" data-strategyid='+(next+1)+'>test</a></div>');   }); 

});

here js fiddle:

if click plus sign see new text appear, should clickable exisiting text , should alert 'hello' doesn't. weird!

it's sounds need change your event binding 'on', this:

$('#container').on('click', 'a', function(){     //dosomething. })
