AngularJS ng-click fires twice

Answer 1

I had a similar problem, but could not find where I included Angular twice in my files.

I was using an ajax calls to load specific form layouts, so I need to use $compile to activate Angular on the inserted DOM. However, I was using $compile on my directive $element which has a controller attached. Turns out this "includes" the controller twice, causing two triggers with ng-click or ng-submit.

I fixed this by using $compile directly on the inserted DOM instead of my directive $element.
