trying to attach a click event to an id that only fires once

UPDATE turns out the code is actually working see my answer below
I'm having some troubles here. I thought I found my answer in the .one method, but apparently, .one means ONLY ONCE PER PAGE PER ANYTHING EVER which isn't exactly what I was going for. Here's what my intention was:
$("#someID").one('mouseover', function() {
//do some stuff
});
$("#someOtherID").one('mouseover', function() {
//do some stuff
});
My expectation was that once that first one fired, that mouseover event would no longer fire for THAT ELEMENT.
The problem with this is that once the first one fires, the second one will not fire either. So the .one method appears to be disabling ALL mouseover events for ALL elements after that first one fires.
I did not expect this, I expected the .one to only apply to that first element. Is this just a flaw in my understanding of the .one method or am I coding wrong?
If it's just a flaw in my understanding, could someone point me in the right direction to correct my code?
Thank you in advance!

This is embarassing, I hope I don't get dinged for this and blocked again from stackoverflow (the easiest thing ever to get blocked from and the hardest to get unblocked).
First, #CertainPerformance, thanks for taking the time to look at my question. My real code didn't have the two mistakes you mentioned, I updated my post to reflect the correct syntax.
I'll be honest, my code is working now, and I have no idea why. I suspect I've been dealing with some crazy caching issues which frustrates me because I'm using inMotionHosting which has really great reviews, and I have caching disabled in cPanel.
If anything, maybe this thread will benefit somebody searching "how to make event fire only once in javascript".

You could make the callback run once like this:
// Extend the function prototype
Function.prototype.once = function() {
// Variables
var func = this, // Current function
result;
// Returns the function
return function() {
// If function is set
if(func) {
// Executes the function
result = func.apply(this, arguments);
// Unset the function, so it will not be called again
func = null;
}
// (:
return result;
};
};
// Bind the event to the function you will use as a callback
$("#someID").on('mouseover', function() {
console.log('just once');
}.once());

How do I get the Yammer Embed Feed Event listeners to work?

From the documentation, all you need to hook onto a Yammer embed feed event is to use:
yam.on(eventId, callbackFunction, [context]);
Which I've done using the eventIDs they have supplied, so my code ends up looking like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
yam.connect.embedFeed({
container: "#embedded-comments",
network: "mynetwork",
feedType: "open-graph"
});
function alertMe() {
alert("Loading Completed!");
}
var nothing = "";
yam.on('/embed/feed/loadingCompleted', alertMe(), nothing);
</script>
Only that the alertMe() function gets called immediately, before the page has even loaded. Changing the eventID to something invalid shows the same behaviour, so I'm starting to think I'm missing something here.
Any ideas what could be causing the events to fire immediately?

Got it working by passing alertMe as a reference (removing the parentheses). I was seeing the events firing instantly due to them being executed as they were being read.
Quite a silly mistake, but being a javascript beginner I'm bound to make a lot of these :)

try this.
yam.on('/embed/feed/loadingCompleted', alertMe, nothing);

How to run a function in meteor reactively?

I have a function that does some gui-logic, and I need this to run every time meteor updates a template reactively.
I tried putting the code in the Template.myTemplate.helpers, like shown below, but then nothing works at all.
Template.ResourceManager.helpers({
names : function(){
myFunction();
return resources.findOne({age : 20}).names;
}
});
Basicly, I need myFunction() to run every time anything changes in resources. I can't find any way to do this. I've tried looking into autoRun, along with cursor.dependency, but I don't really understand how they work, or how to apply them here. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You can try using cursor.observeChanges on the resources collection.
function myFunction(id, fields){
console.log("something happened on resources", id);
}
var cursor = resources.find();
cursor.observeChanges({
added:myFunction,
changed:myFunction,
removed:myFunction
});

Ajax .load() won't work when triggered initially

So I have a simple tab system which I handle with the .load function to load the desired content. The problem is that the page itself which contains this tab system is a ajax loaded content. And for some reason the initial call of the tab function to display the initial tab content won't work. But after manually choosing a tab, the load function loads the content properly.
her some code to look at:
The tab handler:
function loadTab(tab) {
$(".tab_a:eq("+otab+")").removeClass("tab_slc");
$('#tab_content').hide();
$('#tab_content').load("include/tab_downloadVersions.html .tab:eq("+tab+")");
$(".tab_a:eq("+tab+")").addClass("tab_slc");
$('#tab_content').fadeIn(function() {});
otab = tab;
}
at the end I call loadTab(tab); and the thing should be initialized. but for some reason the content remains empty. As soon as you manually click on a tab (I have an on click function which calls loadTab(tab) everything starts working)
Because the code by itself works, I think the problem is caused by the other script which handles the page itself. It is also a .load function which loads the page, which loads this tab system.
So do multiple .loads don't like each other? and if so, what can I change?
Thanks in advance ;)
EDIT: I could't post the entire code for some reason, but if you go here you can see the site in action with all the scripts:
n.ethz.ch/student/lukal/paint.net
The tab system is on the download page.
EDIT:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Big Update
So this is still the same issue but with a slight twist: I did what was recommended in the comments and put my secondary .load() call inside the success call of the first one.
$("#content").load("pages/contact #contentInside", function() {
$("#OtherContent").load("include/info #OtherContentInside");
});
So this works.
But now I had the great idea to make a giant load function. It is a slightly better function than just the plain load, cause it does some fading and stuff. But now I have the same problem, but even more complicated. I created the load function as a "plugin" so the function itself is in a different script file and therefore I can't access the inside of the success function. I solved this problem with a return $.ajax(); and a .done() call. The problem here is that there is some rare case where it just skips the secondary load function. So I am searching for a guaranteed way of controlling the order of the .load calls. Any idea?
The mock-up website is up to date with the new scripts if you wish to take a look. And people were complaining about potential virus spread from my link. For some reason I can't post long code snippets so the site is the best source I got to show everything. If you know a more trustworthy way to share my code please let me know.

We cannot see the rest of your code to tell where the initial call is being invoked from. A set up like the following should work:
$(function() {
var tab = 0;
loadTab( tab );
});
function loadTab(tab) {
//WHAT IS otab???
$(".tab_a:eq("+otab+")").removeClass("tab_slc"); //<<<==== otab
$('#tab_content').hide();
$('#tab_content').load("include/tab_downloadVersions.html .tab:eq("+tab+")");
$(".tab_a:eq("+tab+")").addClass("tab_slc");
$('#tab_content').fadeIn(function() {});
otab = tab;
}
Update
The reason it does not work initial is because otab is not defined the first time the function is called. You have initialized otab at the end of the function but you are using it at the beginning of the function.
UPDATE 2
I have had a chance to look at your code and I just found out what the issues are:
You do not have DOM ready
You are not calling the function on page load.
The following version of your code should work -- try not to use global variable as you're doing with otab. Since you're loading this script at the end of the page (an you are using event delegation) you may get away with DOM ready. Adding .trigger('click') or click() as indicated below should resolve the issue.
//Tab-loader
//Haeri Studios
var tab = 0;
var otab = tab;
var counter = 0;
//click detect
$(document).on('click', '.tab_a', function() {
tab = counter == 0 ? tab : ($(this).attr('id'));
loadTab(tab);
counter++;
return false;
})
.trigger('click'); //<<<<<===== This will call the function when the page loads
//Tab setup
function loadTab(tab) {
//Content Setup
$(".tab_a:eq("+otab+")").removeClass("tab_slc");
$('#tab_content').hide();
$('#tab_content').load("include/tab_downloadVersions.html .tab:eq("+tab+")");
$(".tab_a:eq("+tab+")").addClass("tab_slc");
$('#tab_content').fadeIn(function() {});
otab = tab;
}
//Initialize << WHAT ARE YOUR INTENTIONS HERE .. DO YOU REALLY NEED THIS PIECE?
$.ajax({success: function() {
loadTab(tab);
}});

A partial answer to this problem was to call the loadTab function inside the success call of the page load function, like charlietfl pointed out. But the problem is that there is no need to call the tabloader every time a new page gets called. So I would rather not have a rare call in every page setup function.

I am a bit disappointed by the system on stackoverflow. It seems like if you have not a high reputation level, no one gives a "S" about your questions. Well but at least some input was give, for which I am very thankful.
So by digging deeper into google I found out that the callback can be manually placed in the function where ever you like.
so if we have a function:
foo(lol, function() {
//This after
});
this does stuff after foo() is done. But what if we have another function inside foo() which we also need to wait for:
function foo(lol) {
bar(troll, function() {
//This first
});
}
The bar function is not relevant to the success call of foo. This causes the unpredictable outcome of calls.
The trick is to control when the success function of foo gets called.
If we add a parameter(callback) inside foo and call this "parameter" (callback();) inside the success call of bar, we can make sure the order is guaranteed.
And that's it:
function foo(lol, callback) {
bar(troll, function() {
//This first
callback(); //<-This callback placement defines when it should be triggered
});
}
foo(lol, function() {
//This after
});
We get:
//this first
//this after

"Function factory" doesn't seem to work, JavaScript

I'm displaying a series of images in a loop, and I'm trying to implement some sort of nudity filter so I'm using nude.js, a library that can somewhat detect nudity. Here's the code:
// we're inside a loop
$(".images").prepend($("<img>").attr({src: whatever, id: uniqueid}).load(function(e) {
nude.load(e.target.id);
nude.scan(function(result) { if (!result) $(e.target).detach(); });
});
However, it detaches all of the wrong images because nude.js is slow and it completes after the loop has gone on to the later iterations, detaching those images instead of the one it was working on.
I've tried using a function factory:
function generateCallback(arg) {
return function(result) { if (!result) $(arg).detach(); };
}
and
nude.scan( generateCallback(e.target) )
but the same thing happens.
What I want is a load event that will remove the image if it seems to contain nudity. How can I do this properly?
EDIT: nude.js works like this:
nude.load(imageid);
nude.scan(callback); // it'll pass true or false into the callback
another edit: accidentally omitted the id setting from the code I posted, but it was there in my real code, so I added it here.

I suspect the case here is that this kind of sequential processing won't work with nude.js.
Looking at the nude.js code, I think your problem is occurring in the call to nude.scan. nude.js has a variable that stores the function to invoke after the scan has completed. When calling nude.scan(callback), this variable is set to be callback.
From your PasteBin, it seems as though the callback gets assigned as expected on the first call, but on the second and subsequent calls, it gets replaced, hence why the second image is detached and not the first.

What happends to your script, is that the e var is global to the function and so after each loop it gets replaced with the new one. So when the first image is scanned, e already became the event of the second image, which get detached.
To solve your problem, use closures. If you want to know more about closures, have a look here.
Otherway, here's the solution to your problem :
$(".images").prepend($("<img>").attr({src: whatever, id: uniqueid}).load(function(e) {
(function(e) {
nude.load(e.target.id);
nude.scan(function(result) { if (!result) $(e.target).detach(); });
}) (e);
});
EDIT: AS nick_w said, there is var that contains the callback and probably gets replaced each time so this is why it isn't the right picture getting detached. You will probably have to modify the script yourself
