Unbinding inline onClick not working in jQuery?

Question

Okay so, I\'m wondering how to unbind an inline onclick event in jQuery. You\'d think .unbind() would work, however it doesn\'t.

To test this for you

Answer 1

jQuery's unbind won't work on onclick attributes - it only works for functions that were added via bind and thus are available in $(...).data('events'). You have to use removeAttr to remove onclick.
