javascript - How can I remove the event handler once the click event has fired?

Question

I have a click event I wired up on a div on my page.

Once the click event has fired, I want to unbind the event on that div.

How can I do this? Can I unbind it in the click event handler itself?

Answer 1

Use the "one" function:

$("#only_once").one("click", function() {
alert('this only happens once');
});
