ActionLink executing multiple times
I have an ajax action link which is appending a partial to a div.

    $('#hypNewCriteria').click(newClick);
    ...
    var newClick = (function ()
    {
    	console.log('newClick');
    	$.ajax(this.href, {
    		success: function (result)
    		{
                ...
    		}
    }

On the first page load and on every partial that is returned I am (probably unnecessarily), am executing via a document.ready 

    $('#hypNewCriteria').click(newClick);

... subsequent clicks on the actionlink; the number of partial views returned increases by 1 each time. After 7 clicks, it returns 8 partials. I expect only 1 partial to append.

I suspect the .click(newClick) event is appending. Is there a way to set just one click event or clear the event before I set another?
