jQuery $(document).ready () fires twice

Question

I\'ve been sifting around the web trying to find out whats going on here and I have not been able to get a concrete answer.

I have one $(document).ready

Answer 1

You might consider to use

window.onload

instead of

$(document).ready

Answer 2

It happened to me also, but I realized that the script had been included twice because of a bad merge.

Answer 3

try putting this in your functions.js to prevent it from being executed twice :

var checkit = window.check_var;
if(checkit === undefined){ //file never entered. the global var was not set.
    window.check_var = 1;
}
else {
    //your functions.js content 
}

however i suggest that you look more into it to see where are you calling the second time.

Answer 4

I had a similar problem when I was trying to refresh a partial. I called a return ActionResult instead of a return PartialViewResult. The ActionResult caused my ready() to run twice.

Answer 5

I had this problem with window.load function was executed twice: The reason was because I had reference to the same javascript-file in the main page as well as a .net usercontrol. When I removed the reference in the main page, the load-function was only executed once.

Answer 6

In my case $(document).ready was firing twice because of bad CSS, check if any part of your CSS has background-image: url('');
