Question

Below is the code where it looks to see if the number of rows added matches a number. E.g If the number is 5 , then if 5 rows has been added…

 if (qnum == <?php echo (int)@$_POST['textQuestion']; ?>) {

//...code

    }

I want to disable a hyperlink after the user adds the maximum number of rows they are allowed to add, then will it work if I put the .click() function in the if statement like below:

  if (qnum == <?php echo (int)@$_POST['textQuestion']; ?>) {
    $(".showGrid").click(function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
});
}

the hyperlink is below;

<span href="#" class="showGrid">[Open Grid]</span>

Answer 1

I would unbind all other click handlers first and then preventDefault() and I would return false; as well.

if (qnum == <?php echo (int)@$_POST['textQuestion']; ?>) {
    $(".showGrid").unbind('click').click(function (event) {
        event.preventDefault();
        return false;
    }).css('color', '#BBBBBB');
}
