It's a helper method that only fires once, then is removed.

mmvdl, if you are expecting that your click() call will trigger the
default browser action (following the link), that won't happen. click
() only fires the listeners, not the native behaviour. In this case
you can fake it with this:
$("table.vacatures tbody tr").click(function(){
window.location = $(this).find("a:first")[0].href;
});
(no need for one() as you're leaving the current page anyway)
