The Jquery one binding solution will be good for you as long the dom is not realoded. i.e the user is on the same page without refreshing.

if you need to use this including page reloading there are 3 ways:

1.using a DB 2.using a Session 3.using a Cookie

those are all server side solutions, allowing you to control the user click events. if this is what you are looking for i will elabrate this and will write code examples. if not the one binding suggestion is good. hope this help.

Yes, you may use the one binding function :

myelement.one('click', function() { 
    alert('hi');
});

You can make a boolean to check if it's the first click like this:

var clicked = false;

$(document).click(function() {
    if(!clicked){
          alert("hi");
          clicked = true;
    }
});
