I have this javascript function I use that when clicked goes a certain distance. This is used within a scroller going left to right that uses about 7 divs. My question is ho
Use .off() to unbind the click as soon as it occurs, then re-bind it once the animation completes.
function go(elem){
$(elem).off('click'); console.log(elem);
var dir = elem.id == "right" ? '+=' : '-=';
$(".outerwrapper").stop().animate({ left: dir + '251' }, 3000, function(){
$("#right, #left").click(go);
});
}
$("#right, #left").click(function () {
go(this);
});
jsFiddle example
You can see in this simplified example that the click event is unbound immediately after clicking, and then rebound once the animation completes.
