How to execute Jquery code only once??

Question

I have one jquery method and i used call that method on click of a button . So in that code i have one line \" $(\"#loadingMessage\").css(\'padding-top\',\'6%\');

Answer 1

Use a boolean as a global variable, like

var flag = true;

Now, set the condition before the execution, Like

if(flag){  
   $("#loadingMessage").css('padding-top','6%');  
   flag=false;  
}
