You answered my question. Now I understand how the Event handling works. Thank you. And thank you for suggestions to name changes.
>I'd change the code a bit. FireClickMethod doesn't actually fire the click. It sets up jQuery to handle the click, but HandleClick isn't the right name either. Rather than a function to setup up the binding, I just put the code inside the .ready() function.

>- The function in $("#btnTest).click() is an anonymous method (you didn't give it a name). It geta bound to the button's click event
>- When you click the button, the anonymous method bound to it gets called.

>Now to address your question about your code:
>- FireClickMethod() only gets called when .ready() runs (once per page load).

>>I want to be sure that I understand one basic concept of event handing by Javascript or jQuery correctly.

>>Does method FireClickMethod fire when user clicks on any of the buttons? Of course I understand that jQuery will look for element ‘btnTest’ and will determine if the click was on this button. But I just wanted to understand that method files FireClickMethod() on every click or other event on the page. Do I understand this correctly?
