jQuery $(“.class”).click(); – multiple elements, click event once

by

Apologies for bumping this old thread. I had the same problem right now, and I wanted to share my solution.

$(".yourButtonClass").on('click', function(event){
    event.stopPropagation();
    event.stopImmediatePropagation();
    //(... rest of your JS code)
});

event.StopPropagation and event.StopImmediatePropagation() should do the trick.

Having a .class selector for Event handler will result in bubbling of click event (sometimes to Parent element, sometimes to Children elements in DOM).

event.StopPropagation() method ensures that event doesn’t bubble to Parent elements, while event.StopImmediatePropagation()method ensures that event doesn’t bubble to Children elements of desired class selector.
