Plugin Settings page reload

[ttnode]

Hi All, I am writing a custom plugin to display 4 curated categories on the home page, I am able to display them correctly, on the plugin settings page I have on click event on Save settings button to check only unique categories are selected, but the issue is when ever I visit the settings page - the DOM does not recognize the on click function and just reloads . Once the settings page is reloaded - the on click function on save button works.

I am not sure how to go about this,
Here is the code in app.js
require(['settings'], function(settings) {
settings.sync('plugin', $('#categories'));

$('#save').click( function (event) {
});
});

You need to run event.preventDefault() to prevent the Click from automatically submitting the form
