Question

When a field is focused or blurred, a jQuery Ajax request fires. I don’t want the Ajax request to fire if there’s already a request being called. Here’s what I have:

$('#domain').bind('change focus blur', function() {
    // Disable the "bind" here
    $.getJSON(theURL, '', function(data) {
      ...
    });
    // Re-enable the "bind" here
});

Answer 1

How about unbind?

function handler() {
    $('#domain').unbind('change focus blur', handler);

    $.getJSON(theURL, '', function(data) {
        // ...

        $('#domain').bind('change focus blur', handler);
    });
}

$('#domain').bind('change focus blur', handler);
