unbinding hover() - not the normal case

I have a jQuery that, whenever the document is ready, binds a hover event with a handler to an element with the class="widget-box". The issue is that once the document is ready, the hover event handler gets binded, but when the user clicks a button on the page, ajax is used so that part of the page is reloaded and then document ready causes the hover event to be binded again to the same element. I don't want this behavior to occur and only want the hover event to be binded once. I've tried to unbind hover() whenever document ready gets called again with unbind('开发者_StackOverflow社区mouseenter') and unbind('mouseleave') but somehow, that doesn't work to remove the hover that is already binded. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?

Thanks!

You may have done something wrong. Do it this way:

$(".widget-box").unbind('mouseenter mouseleave').bind('hover', ...);

Hope this helps. Cheers

try using the .live() method:)

to qualify:

why are you loading the same javascript twice? if you only load it once, and use .live rather than .hover you can still attach your events to pertinent elements without having to run the js again.

EDIT:

have you considered just wrapping your code in something like:

if(document.myScriptIsLoaded!=true){
    document.myScriptIsLoaded=true;
    //put your document ready here
}
