jQuery $(document).ready () fires twice

Question

I\'ve been sifting around the web trying to find out whats going on here and I have not been able to get a concrete answer.

I have one $(document).ready

Answer 1

This happened to me when using KendoUI... invoking a popup window would cause the document.ready event to fire multiple times. The easy solution is to set a global flag so that it only runs once:

var pageInitialized = false;
$(function()
{
    if(pageInitialized) return;
    pageInitialized = true;
    // Put your init logic here.
});

It's sort of hack-ish, but it works.
