copied!<p>I think what you are looking for is probably event.stopPropagation()</p> <p>Here's the documentation: <a href="http://api.jquery.com/event.stopPropagation/" rel="noreferrer">http://api.jquery.com/event.stopPropagation/</a></p> <p>Basically, what's happening is that when you click on the <code><a></code>, the click event is triggering, but since it is contained in the <code><li></code> the click event is also triggered on it. This process of the event going from child to parent is called event bubbling. You can use event.stopPropagation() to stop it.</p> <p>Let's assume you have an HTML structure like so:</p> <pre><code><ul> <li class="reveal">One<br /> <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a> <ul> <li>a</li> <li>b</li> <li>c</li> </ul> </li> <li class="reveal">Two<br /> <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a> <ul> <li>a</li> <li>b</li> <li>c</li> </ul> </li> <li class="reveal">Three<br /> <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a> <ul> <li>a</li> <li>b</li> <li>c</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </code></pre> <p>Further, we'll say that you have a CSS rule:</p> <pre><code>ul ul { display: none; } </code></pre> <p>Apply this jQuery, and you should get the result you're looking for:</p> <pre><code>$(function () { $('.reveal').click(function() { $(this).children('ul').slideToggle(); }); $('.reveal a').click(function(event) { event.stopPropagation(); }); }); </code></pre> <p>Here's a live demo of this in action: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/PaxTg/" rel="noreferrer">http://jsfiddle.net/PaxTg/</a></p>
