Question

The code below I use to create a sliding menu. I need to know how to unbind the function attached to the click event and re-attach it some other time. (using jQuery 1.7.2)

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.section').hide();
    $('.header').click(function(){
      if($(this).next('.section').is(':visible'))
      {
        $('.section:visible').slideUp()              
        $('.arrows:visible').attr("src","right.gif")
      }
      else
      {
        $('.section').slideUp();
        $(this).next('.section').slideToggle();
        $(this).find('.arrows').attr("src","down.gif")
    });
});

The code below is what I have so far

$('#printVers').click(function(){
   if($('#formVersion').val() != "Print")
   {
     $('.header').unbind('click');
   }
   else
   {
     //else re-attach functionality?
   }
});

Thanks

Simply make a named function. You can go low tech here and back to basics to unbind and reattach specific events.

function doStuff()
{
    if($(this).,next('.section').is(':visible'))
        ...
}

$('.header').on('click', doStuff);
$('.header').off('click', doStuff);
