How to prevent jquery event from triggering in dropdown list provided that event is connected

Question

I have a dropdown on my webpage with a jquery event related to a change event. When changing, I use ajax to load the partial view in a popup.

When a user uses the keyboard to navigate through the list of items, but then clicks a link to another part of the page, I instantly see my pop-up window. This obviously happens when the user clicks a link elsewhere on the page, the change event is triggered when the drop-down list.

Are there any neat solutions to solve this problem? A simple solution would be to trigger an event on the keyboard, but I do not want this function to be executed.

Here is a snippet of a code change event

$('#lookup').change(function()
{
    $.get(..//load template

Answer 1

I did not find a solution that I liked or worked purely with my style, so I decided to catch a trigger on the "change" and "keyup" events to avoid this scenario.

Answer 2

If this is an ajax call, there is a chance that your ajax call will be cached. Make sure you turn off the cache. something like "cache: false"
