Quick Reference
The off() method is most often used to remove event handlers attached with the on() method.
$('button').click(function() {
$('p').off('click');
});Syntax
$(selector).off(event,selector,function(eventObj),map)Note
It is generally good practice to place your jQuery code/function inside the document load function so that the action takes place ONLY after the document has finished loading. This ensures that all of the page elements that you may be selecting are in place before running the code on them.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| event | Specifies one or more events or namespaces to remove from the selected elements; multiple event values are separated by a space; must be a valid event (required) |
| selector | A selector which should match the one originally passed to the on() method when attaching event handlers |
| function(eventObj) | Specifies the function to run when the event occurs |
| map | Specifies an event map ({event:function, event:function, ...}) containing one or more event to attach to the elements, and functions to run when the events occur |
jQuery Notes:
- To use jQuery on your site, it must first be downloaded from the official jQuery site and linked to in your document <head>, or linked to via a CDN in your document <head>
- It is generally good practice to place your jQuery code/function inside the document load function so that the action takes place ONLY after the document has finished loading
- When using jQuery, single or double quotation marks are acceptable and work identically to one another; choose whichever you prefer, and stay consistent
We’d like to acknowledge that we learned a great deal of our coding from W3Schools and TutorialsPoint, borrowing heavily from their teaching process and excellent code examples. We highly recommend both sites to deepen your experience, and further your coding journey. We’re just hitting the basics here at 1SMARTchicken.
