deactivate event after I clicked in the specific table cell

I am using this code to replace a value inside a td cell and to pop up a select input.

$(document).one('click',"#editlanguageinline", function (e) { 

$(this).html('<select><option value="volvo">Volvo</option>

<option value="saab">Saab</option>

<option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>

<option value="audi">Audi</option></select>');

      });

I would like to create an inline edit for this table row/cell. So the user should be able to select a value for every new row in this column and after selecting it, a ajax event calls the php file where the new value is updated. But if I want to choose a new value in the dropdown menu, the css event is activated again. So the replacement event is fired again and I can not choose a value. How can I avoid this?
I tried the command .one() but than all other rows do not really activate the event because than it is really only activated once. It should be deactivated for the cell that I currently clicked so I can choose a value.

thank you in advance for any help.

Try This :

$('#table').on('click','#editlanguageinline', function (e) { 

    if ($(this).find("select").length==0) {

        $(this).html('<select><option value="volvo">Volvo</option><option value="saab">Saab</option><option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option><option value="audi">Audi</option></select>');

    }

});

this checks the current value if it is not "volvo" but it can be volvo as well. Do you have any other solution?

Nov 26 '18 at 12:10

No that is just checking to see if the html was already generated for that node. The code supplied works for other rows also... Try it..

Nov 26 '18 at 12:13

works great! thank you very much! so "volvo" should be always the value of the first select option?

– hillcode
Nov 26 '18 at 13:27

No I am just looking for the existence of the string volvo in the html to see of the <select> html was previously generated. You could just test to see if there is a select present rather than the volvo string. You could even just add some logic to the select html and give it an id and then test to see of the element exists on subsequent clicks.. The includes (...) is simply looking into the html text for the element..

I created sample fiddle with your example and my modifications. Key thing is that you need to bind your event to all 'td's only. And in this case select change will not fire this change again.

$('#table').on('click','td', function (e) { 

  $(this).html('<select><option value="volvo">Volvo</option><option value="saab">Saab</option><option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option><option value="audi">Audi</option></select>');

});
