jQuery bind firing multiple times?

Question

$(\".container\").on(\"contextmenu\", \".photos-bottom .albums li\", function(e) {

$(\'html\').bind(\'click\', function (event) {
    alert(id);
});

return false;
         


        

Answer 1

Because your click event is being bound every time a context menu event occurs, you're actually adding an additional bind each time you right click. This is the reason for the ever-growing number of event executions.

You should either:

a) unbind the event when the context menu is closed, or

b) bind the click event outside of your contextmenu callback function.

Answer 2

$('html').unbind('click').bind('click') fixed it.
