jquery stop child triggering parent event

jquery

Solution

Do this:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".header").click(function(){
        $(this).children(".children").toggle();
    });
   $(".header a").click(function(e) {
        e.stopPropagation();
   });
});

Problem

I have a div which I have attached an `onclick` event to. in this div there is a tag with a link. When I click the link the `onclick` event from the div is also triggered. How can i disable this so that if the link is clicked on the div `onclick` is not fired? script: ``` $(document).ready(function(){ $(".header").bind("click", function(){ $(this).children(".children").toggle(); }); }) ``` html code: ``` <div class="header"> <a href="link.html">some link</a> <ul class="children"> <li>some list</li> </ul> </div> ```
