jquery .click overriding anchor href when i dont want it to!

Question

I have a set of nested DIVs that slidetoggle using jQuery as the user clicks on them. Inside the innermost DIV there is an anchor tag with an HREF that should navigate somewhere

Answer 1

you can check the event object of the click and then check the event target - see also http://api.jquery.com/event.target/

 $("div.subSystemHeader, div.subSystemHeader").click(function(event) { 
   if(event.target.nodeName.toLowerCase() == 'a') return;
 ...
 }

(didnt test it, but it should work)
