Best way to remove an event handler in jQuery?

Question

I have an input type=\"image\". This acts like the cell notes in Microsoft Excel. If someone enters a number into the text box that this input-image

Answer 1

You may be adding the onclick handler as inline markup:

If so, the jquery .off() or .unbind() won't work. You need to add the original event handler in jquery as well:

$("#addreport").on("click", "", function (e) {
   openAdd();
});

Then the jquery has a reference to the event handler and can remove it:

$("#addreport").off("click")

VoidKing mentions this a little more obliquely in a comment above.
