This should work:
$('#myTextarea').unbind(); // unbinds all handlers
Then when you want to bind it again:
$('#myTextarea').expandable();

attached...
To answer your question, hopefully, the element, in this case a textarea,
is set up like this:
<script>
$(function() {
$('#myTextarea').expandable();
});
</script>
...and that's it. It would be active as "expandable" all the time.
So, there's no "event", like click, etc., that triggers the function.
However, I want to be able to click a link and disable the "expandable"
functionality, until another link is clicked to re-enable the functionality.
In other words, having the textarea "expandable" is not something I want
on all the time.
