jQuery attr('onclick')

Question

I\'am trying to change \"onclick\" attribute in jQuery but it doesn\'t change, here is my code:

$(\'#stop\').click(function() {
     $(\'next\').attr(\'oncli         


        

Answer 1

Do it the jQuery way (and fix the errors):

$('#stop').click(function() {
     $('#next').click(stopMoving);
     // ^-- missing #
});  // <-- missing );

If the element already has a click handler attached via the onclick attribute, you have to remove it:

$('#next').attr('onclick', '');

Update: As @Drackir pointed out, you might also have to call $('#next').unbind('click'); in order to remove other click handlers attached via jQuery.

But this is guessing here. As always: More information => better answers.
