This page shows how to remove the click event from each .guess_box element.

$(".guess_box").each( function() {
   $(this).unbind("click");

But I also tried the code below and it seems to work.

$(".guess_box").unbind("click");

Is it necessary to use "each" to explicitly loop through each element or will JQuery automatically call the unbind method on all elements that match a selector?

I was here to ask the very same thing...

+1 with this question.

 

Since $(".guess_box").unbind("click");

 

would seem obvious, I'd quite like an answer as to why not use it.

Why would you use .each instead?

The books should really clarify this.
