I may have a misunderstanding on how to implement backbone.js, because all of my views that support multiple models (for example, a "Product" view that that can display multiple products), will send events to every view that was created in that session.
So in the example below, when I click the #redirect_product link, the "redirect_product" is called multiple times depending on how many products i've seen. If I've viewed 5 products, on the 6th click I will get 6 alerts.
What's going on here?
505 /****************PRODUCT VIEW****************/
506 App.Views.Product = Backbone.View.extend({
507 el: $('#content_sec'),
508
509 events: {
510 "click #redirect_product": "redirect_product",
511 },
512
513 initialize: function(options) {
514 this.model = this.options.model;
515 this.render();
516
517 },
518
519 render: function() {
520 $(this.el).empty();
521 $('#product_detail_template').tmpl(this.model.toJSON()).appendTo($(this.el));
522
523
524 //Activate facebook buttons
525 if (typeof FB != "undefined"){
526 FB.XFBML.parse(document.getElementById('item_share'))
527 }
528
529 wishlist.init();
530 return this;
531 },
532
533 redirect_product: function() {
534 //Send data on what product being clicked by whom
535 alert('hi');
536
537
538 //Open new window with product for user
539 var external_link = this.model.get('product').attributes['External Link'];
540 window.open(external_link, "external_site");
541
542 },
543 });
