jQuery: Freezing/Disabling all events temporarily?
- by Legend
I have the following usecase:
A div with some buttons
When the user
clicks on a button, a popup is shown
and the background div is faded out
to 0.5 opacity
The problem is that when the popup comes in, the user is still able to click on the background buttons. At this point, I can remove the entire DIV temporarily but I don't want to do that. Is there anyway I can disable all the previously attached events and then add event handlers ONLY to the current popup? (I mean something like a close button should still work on a popup) Any suggestions?
