Disabling onclick (using Spry)

[Steve]

I want to disable the onclick for a <div>. In onclick I am using
Spry.Effect.AppearFade(...). Any suggestions on how to disable onclick
after the first initial click from the user?

If you were somehow reloading the page you could use onclick="return false;". As this is
a DHTML library I assume that is not the case.

You could then use form fields with an event handler and disable them after their initial
click.

Heh. Well, Steve said "disable" not "kill".

Offhand, is there a way to revive the event handler (after nullifying it)?

Thanks.

Store a reference to it and then set it back.

onclick="someFunction();this.oldOnClick=this.onclick;this.onclick=null"

And then some way to restore it:

document.getElementById('thatElement').onclick=document.getElementById('thatElement').oldOnClick

Awesome. Thanks.
