Hi Jeet!\
\
Only bind the handler once:\
\

```
var popupmenuBound = false;$("#onclickpopupmenu").bind("click",function(){  alert("this can execute multiple times");  if (!popupmenuBound) {    $("#popupmenuok").bind("click",function(){      alert("this has to be triggered only once eventhough the parent event trigger multiple times");    });    popupmenuBound = true;  }});
```
