Question

I have this jquery function that is supposed to fire off when i call it. Now it DOES fire off when I call it; however, and unfortunately, it also fires off at OnLoad. How can I stop this from happening?

here is how I call the method:

<telerik:RadListBox ID="RadListType" CssClass="RadListBoxWZMenu" runat="server" OnClientDropped="LocationItem('Type')">

here is the method:

$(function LocationItem(zonetype) {
   var NewDialog = $('<div class="droppable"></div>');
   NewDialog.dialog({
   modal: false,
   title: $('<label>' + zonetype + '</label>'),
      show: 'clip',
      hide: 'clip',
      buttons: [
        { text: "Edit", click: function () { EditFields() } },
      ]
   });
   return false;

});

I think wrapping it in the $() function means it is called when JQuery loads

Try removing the $() entirely
