 $('#text-12').click(function(e) {
     alert('clicked');
 });

in general, for all text inputs, use input[type="text"] instead of #text-12 selector.

Another solution:

$('#text-12').on('click',function(){alert("alert-title")});

You can use the code below

$('#text-12').click(function(){ alert("hello")});
