jQuery Click Event On Div, Except Child Div

javascript, jquery, onclick

Solution

$(".server").on('click', ':not(.delete-server)', function (e) {
     e.stopPropagation()
     // Show edit dialog
});

Problem

I have the following HTML: ``` <div class="server" id="32"> <a>Server Name</a> <div class="delete-server">X</div> </div> ``` I am trying to make it so when users click the `server` div it brings up an edit dialog. The problem is simply doing: ``` $(".server").click(function () { //Show edit dialog }); ``` Does not work, because if they click the X which is delete, it brings up the edit dialog. How can make the entire div `server` have the click event except the `delete-server` div.
