Question

There are objects where I have attached some events to.
After some point, I create some more of those items and I want them also to be attached to the same events.

If select elements using a jQuery selector and attach the handler to the event, the older object will have the same handler attached multiple times to their event.

What’s the proper way of doing this?

Answer 1

I would go like this about it:

$(".element").unbind("click").live("click", function () {
// ...
});

and by that you unbind older ‘click’ event handlers and bind old and new ones only once with live.
