$(document).unbind('ready');

[jimmont]

In a script I initialize functions using the ready event: $(document).ready(function(){ }); $().ready(functionReference);

Is it possible to change the behavior of the ready event to be more like other events (eg click) so that the following will remove the previous functionality (and prevent it from happening)? (In this scenario I see the previous code as loaded from an external script, then a subsequent script does the unbinding and attaches new functionality to the page.)

$().unbind('ready'); $(document).unbind('ready');

This is a followup to the dialog at:  http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/f01888f1bcd54531?hl=en

thanks very much

I've started work on this in the  events_enhancement branch.

This functionality is now available in 1.2.2+

Although you must use the typical bind syntax in order to use the unbind syntax.

$(document).bind('ready', fn); $(document).unbind('ready', fn);
