That's because the click event from a LI bubbles up to the DIV. Two simple ways to avoid it:
$('#plan').click(function(e){ //abort if a LI was clicked if ( $(e.target).is('li') ) return false; //then do stuff() }); (alternatively use if ( e.target.id != 'plan' )) or a less efficient but explanative way: $('#plan').click(function(){ //do stuff }); $('#plan li').click(function(e){ //or #plan > * return false; //returning false calls e.stopPropagation() and e.preventDefault () }); cheers, - ricardo On Apr 27, 10:26 am, Remon Oldenbeuving <r.s.oldenbeuv...@gmail.com> wrote: > It looks obvious, but aint working for me. > > On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 3:16 PM, Mauricio (Maujor) Samy Silva < > > css.mau...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > De: "gostbuster" <jeremyescol...@gmail.com> > > Assunto: [jQuery] Re: div contains <li> -> select div but NOT li > > Hi, > > Yes of course I could do this, but Jquery selectors don't allow what I > > wish to do? > > Thanks. > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > How about: > > $('#plan').not('ul').click(function(){...} > > Maurício
