I was doing something similar recently. I'm not sure if this is the
best/right way to do it, but I just added an "unbind" at the start of
the function (before the click event handler is applied) to prevent
bubling.
e.g.
function foo(){
$('a').unbind( "click" );
$('a').click(function(){
$.get("test.html", function(data){
$('#divId').append(data);
foo();
});
});
}
