How to unbind a specific event handler

event-handling, events, javascript, jquery, unbind

Solution

You have to use a named function so you can reference that specific handler when calling `.unbind()`, like this:

function keyUpFunc(e) {
  if (e.keyCode == 27) { functionZzy(); }
}
$(document).keyup(keyUpFunc);

Then later when unbinding:

$(document).unbind("keyup", keyUpFunc);

Problem

Code: ``` $('#Inputfield').keyup(function(e) { if(e.which == 13) { functionXyz(); } else { functionZyx(); } }); $(document).keyup(function(exit) { if (exit.keyCode == 27) { functionZzy(); } }); ``` Question: How to remove the keyup event handler of keyCode == 27 and keep the other $(document).keyup event handlers intact?
