How can I remove the event handler once the click event has fired?

I am trying to assign click event to a button using live and want the user can only trigger it only once. Are there anyways to do it?

//I only want the alert show once and disable the click event... 
$('#testBtn').live('click', function(){
    alert('hey ya');
})

Please note: The button is created dynamically.

You can use one() with delegated handlers as well (in jQuery 1.7+) and replace the deprecated live() function with something like this:

$(document).one('click', '#testBtn', function(){
    alert('hey ya');
});

replace document with the closest non-dynamic parent.
