Question

I have a jQuery tip function. I would like to create a button to turn on and turn off the function. I want it to be on by default.

Is it possible to create a link to turn on and off a function?

You can dynamically add and subtract event handlers with the bind and unbind functions.

$("#id").click( function() {

    if ( HANDLER_IS_SET )
        $("#button").unbind( "click");    
    else       
        $("#button").bind( "click", myEventHandlerFunction );             
}
