Question

I have a JavaScript function that is being called multiple times. It appears the createUser function gets added as an array and is called each time someone clicks the “Add Bidder” link.

<a id="add_bidders_14" class="bidders" href="#" vendor_id="123"> Add Bidder </a>

Here is the a Javascript functions

function addClickBehavior() {
    $("#add_bidders_14").click( function () {
         var data_object = {};
         data_object.vendor_id = $(this).attr("vendor_id");
         bidderModal() 
    } 
}


function bidderModal(data_object) {
    createUser(data_object); 
}


function createUser(data_object) {
    alert("I pop up more and more each click to the Add Bidder link");
}

What I want to happen is that a new createUser function to occur on every click and not create multiple instances of createUser. So in reality the alert will only fire once.

You want unbind

 $("#add_bidders_14").unbind().click( function () {...
