I think you should probably unbind that inline onclick attribute on page ready and re-assign your own onclick function with jQuery (even if it's the same thing). Save your custom onclick callback function to a variable (as in, separate it from the onclick assignment so it's a standalone function that can be called elsewhere). Then use unbind() to unbind the click. http://docs.jquery.com/Events/unbind#typefn Then when you're ready, re-bind the click with the saved callback function again.
