jQuery: Single button click, click event firing two or more times

Question

I have HTML input and button elements. I use the buttons to submit forms, open secondary windows, etc. The problem is, a single click is turning into 2 (and sometimes many more

Answer 1

for me it was caused by

$(function() {
    $('.some-element').click(function() {
        //event that fires twice
    });

    //some exception-throwing code here
});

jQuery was calling the anonymous ready function twice(?!) because of the exception so the click function would be bound twice.
