How do I replace an event handler with jQuery?

Question

I have a site that uses AJAX to navigate. I have two pages that I use a click and drag feature using

$(\".myDragArea\").mousedown(function(){
  do stuff...
         


        

Answer 1

Calling $("body").mouseup(function) will add an event handler.
You need to remove the existing handler by writing $("body").unbind('mouseup');.
