Firing an event using jQuery live or delegate

Question

I would like to bind a handler to an element using jQuery live () or delegate (). Looking at the documents, I see that I can attach a handler for a custom event.

Is it possible for one of these jQuery functions to also trigger a handler? Basically I want to attach a handler function and run it once.

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

If you only want to call it once, then you might be better off with help . one () .

If you want to call an event that has already been bound, you can call the method . trigger () .

$('#foo').bind('click', function() {
      alert($(this).text());
    });
    $('#foo').trigger('click');
