Unbind isn't working for me. Which is weird because it's working in other sections, just not here. Any tips or advice on why it might not be working?

html

<ul>
 <li class="articlelibleft_li" onclick="foo()">foo</li>
 <li class="articlelibleft_li_active">foo</li>
</ul>

jquery

$('.articlelibleft_li').unbind("click");

What version of jQuery? Try `$('.articlelibleft_li').off('click')` – putvande Jul 08 '14 at 20:41
Instead of `bind` and `unbind`, use `on` and `off` – faerin Jul 08 '14 at 20:41
Can you reproduce the issue in a jsFiddle.net example? And doesn't unbind() only remove handlers bound with bind, not inline? – j08691 Jul 08 '14 at 20:42

`.unbind()` only works with events attached with `.bind()`, not with `onclick=""` -- use `.removeAttr('onclick')` instead. – Blazemonger Jul 08 '14 at 20:43
@Blazemonger Thanks for the tip, I did not know that. I tried removeAttr as well but no luck. – Trevor Wood Jul 08 '14 at 20:50
