$('#myParentElement').one('click','a.myClass',function(){
    /* this code will execute only once */
    $('#myParentElement a.myClass').editable().click();
});

We are also adding a class to element we are applying plugin and before applying plugin we are remove that class.

This is the code:

$('#myParentElement').one('click','a.myClass',function(){ /* this code will execute only once */ $('#myParentElement a.myClass.editable').removeClass('editable').editable(); });

You don't need to add the editable class, .one will only happen once anyway.
