[John Warner]

It was creating a new variable inside the function (scope).

John,

Yep, so simple and working... Thanks !!
I was trying the same but with:

var bInitialized = false; 
Wich strangely was not working.
Regards.
Guillaume.


 function DoSomethingElse()

  

        {

                       // Need to re-enable the function 

above to run again



                ...

    

bInitialized = false;    // <<<-------------

  

        }

Paul,



This is perfectly working... This function will work once 

only... However how do I allow that function to run again 

once another function 

has been called ?



var bInitialized = false;

        ...

        function DoSomething()

        {

                        if (bInitialized) return;

                bInitialized = true;



                ...

        }





        function DoSomethingElse()

        {

                       // Need to re-enable the function 

above to run again



                ...

        }

So what I'd like is the functions to fire only once even if onclick

is performed multiple times.

        



One method of preventing a function from running more than 

      

once is to

    

set a global variable the first time the function is called, and 

refuse to run if that variable is set:



        var bInitialized = false;

        ...

        function DoSomething()

        {

                        if (bInitialized) return;

                bInitialized = true;



                ...

        }



Regards,

Paul
