How to create a custom function which i can turn it off on a click?

Question

I am running a bit of code once the page load so in the footer i have got:

$(function(){
  //code to run on page load
});

But then i need to stop that code to run on a

.click() 

I was thinking of having a custom function which runs on page load and then be able to disabale that function on a click.

Answer 1

A simple way would be to add a flag/preference variable to your page, which dictates which logic can be executed and when.

Whenever code is then executed, just check the preference, ie

function myfunction () {
    ....
    if (code_may_run) {
        ....
        code_may_run = false;
    }
    ....
}
