Question

I have the following code attached to an item on a web page:

(function(){
  var vName = $("#NAME").substr(2);
  $("#NAME").ondblclick   = new Function("vName+".remove();");
  $("#NAME_2").ondblclick = new Function("processMove();");
})();

The code so much is not an issue but what I would like to do, via jQuery is to remove the ability to perform a “ondblclick” on this item, i.e., would like to remove this function or double clicks on this item altogether, only for a particular criteria, which again is not important as part of this question.

Answer 1

Just .unbind() it:

$('selector').unbind('dblclick');
