[jQuery] Re: overide or deleting events

[Karl Swedberg]

Hi James,

First, it's much better to use the CSS ID selector rather than the  
XPath attribute selector here:

$('#customer').click ....

Second, you might want to try using the .unbind() method during the  
user interaction. Something like this, perhaps:

        $('#customer').unbind('click').click(function(){
                alert('Lookup customer cant be shown any more.'');
        });

You can also be a bit more precise in what you're unbinding:

var lookupShow = function() {
  $('#lookup_customer').show();
};

Then you can do:
        $('#customer').click(lookupShow);

And later:

        $('#customer').unbind('click', lookupShow).click(function(){
                alert('Lookup customer cant be shown any more.'');
        });
        

This stuff should be inside a $(document).ready() of course.

Hope that helps.

--Karl

hi

i have something like this

        $('[EMAIL PROTECTED]').click(function(){
                $('[EMAIL PROTECTED]').show();
        });

and during the user interaction i have something like this

        $('[EMAIL PROTECTED]').click(function(){
                alert('Lookup customer cant be shown any more.'');
        });

I was expecting a new behavior when clicking the <div id="customer">
tag, but what happen the two behavior are executing instead of the
newer one overiding the older one. How can I achieve this?

Thanks
