jquery click event is firing multiple times when using class selector

In my case, i had multiple tabs rendering the same partial and each partial had the $(document).ready() call which binded the click event thrice.

I had a similar problem and the solution for me was to unbind the click event before declaring the click event. Doesn't make much sense but I had no idea how the multiple events get attached to a single HTML element. ( and my HTML looked valid ;) )

$('.remove_lkc').unbind('click').click(function(){ ..........

If you close your <li> tags, you'll fix the problem. I've just tested it, and that corrects it. Should be

<li> ... </li>
<li> ... </li>

not

<li>
<li>
