Allow just one click in class JQUERY

Question

I have a link that will load via ajax some content.

My problem is, I don\'t want to remove the text \"Load comments\", I just want to not allow more clicks in this c

Answer 1

Use jQuery's one() function

$(".showcomments").one("click", function() {

http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/event_one.asp

The one() method attaches one or more event handlers for the selected elements, and specifies a function to run when the event occurs.

When using the one() method, the event handler function is only run ONCE for each element.

Answer 2

When you bind an event handler, you bind to the element, not to the class. Removing a class from an element doesn't change which event handlers are bound to the element.

You could use off() to remove the event handler:

$(this).off('click');
