I’m going nuts just trying to unbind an onclick handler from the event in

  • 0

I’m going nuts just trying to unbind an onclick handler from the event in jQuery so I can bind it later on to another function.

I have isolated the code in a test page so there’s nothing but the meat, just a button that calls a function and a script that tries to unbind it:

<%@ Page Language='C#' Inherits='System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage' %>  <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN'                        'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd'> <html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'> <head id='Head1' runat='server'>     <script src='../../Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.min.js' type='text/javascript'>     </script>      <script src='../../Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js' type='text/javascript'>     </script>      <script type='text/javascript' language='javascript'>         $(document).ready(function() { $('#btnNext').unbind('click'); });         function hi() {window.alert('hi');}     </script> </head>  <body>      <input id='btnNext' type='button' value='Next' onclick='hi();' /> </body> </html>

Anybody knows why the click event keeps calling the hi() function no matter what I said in the document.ready?

Thanks

  1. Because you put it in the html attribute, it stays there. It was not bound with jQuery so jQuery is not tracking it’s usage.

    $('a').bind('click',hi); $('a').unbind('click',hi);
