Question

How do I unbind \"hover\" in jQuery?

This does not work:

$(this).unbind(\'hover\');

Answer 1

I found this works as second argument (function) to .hover()

$('#yourId').hover(
    function(){
        // Your code goes here
    },
    function(){
        $(this).unbind()
    }
});

The first function (argument to .hover()) is mouseover and will execute your code. The second argument is mouseout which will unbind the hover event from #yourId. Your code will be executed only once.
