Howto: div with onclick inside another div with onclick javascript

Question

just a quick question. I\'m having a problem with divs with onclick javascript within each other. When I click on the inner div it should only fire it\'s onclick javascript,

Answer 1

This worked for me in Jquery:

$('#outer_element').click(function(event) {
    if(event.target !== event.currentTarget) return;
    alert("Outer element is clicked")                       
});

This way, if the current target is not the same as the outer div, it will do nothing. You can implement normal functions on the child elements.
