Question

Answer 1

A:

Strange- that looks correct. Have you tested that your initial statement is selecting what you think it does?

http://docs.jquery.com/Events/unbind

edit- Ok I did a test page

<body>
     <a href="#" class="a">Test A</a>
        <a href="#" class="a">Test A</a>
        <a href="#" class="a">Test A</a>
     <a href="#" class="b">Test B</a>
     <a href="#" class="a">Test A</a>
     <a href="#" class="b">Test B</a>


     <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
     <script type="text/javascript">

       $(function(){

        $('a').bind("click", testClick);
        $('a.b').unbind("click", testClick);


       });

       function testClick(){
        alert("Link Clicked");
       };
    </script>
    </body>

This works fine, however if I built my function inline I needed to unbind all events from select elements to remove it. Not sure if that applies or not but worth mentioning.

Do you mind posting a bit more code> it looks like there may be something else wrong.

Answer 2

+2 A:

I agree with apocalypse9 that it seems like what you have should work. Perhaps a different approach would have better results... How about using the :not selector with live(). Live will ensure the selector works with dynamically added elements.

$('a:not(#navbar a)').live("click", handleLinks);

"I do not want to specifically exclude the navbar in the first statement"

Thanks Scott, I edited the answer. Although it still may not work for him if the #navbar id is dynamic, which it sounds like it might be.

A:

$('a').not('#navbar a').bind('click', handleLinks);
