jquery.multiclick

Bind to the multiclick event, a custom DOM-like event generated using jQuery's Special Events API. The multiclick event triggers when the user clicks within the bound element a configurable number of times.

Have you ever wished that browsers threw an event when a user clicked an element a certain number of times? (No? OK, me neither... but this made for a good demonstration.) If you are [or can be] using jQuery 1.7+, then this simple jQuery extension can grant that wish for you!
