Question

If you want to respond to an event just one time, the following syntax should be really helpful:

 $('.myLink').bind('click', function() {
   //do some things

   $(this).unbind('click', arguments.callee); //unbind *just this handler*
 });

Using arguments.callee, we can ensure that the one specific anonymous-function handler is removed, and thus, have a single time handler for a given event. Hope this helps others.
