Here is the example for UI element construct,
HTML
<div class='wrap'>
<a class='inner-link' href="#">Link</a>
</div>
CSS
.wrap
{
background:#CDD4E0;
width:300px;
height:100px;
padding:20px;
}
.wrap:hover
{
background:#868B93;
}
jQuery
$('.wrap').click(function () {
alert("Handler for wrap container click.");
});
$('.inner-link').click(function () {
alert("Handler for inner link click");
});
What I want to do is to prevent the container with the class .wrap click event when I click the link inside.
You can reference this fiddle example.
Current code fire $('.wrap').click when I do for $('.inner-link').click.
Add if to check if the target does not contain class inner-link.
UPDATE: Oh, the comment has a better way to solve it.
$(".wrap").click(function (e) {
if (e.target.className !== "inner-link") { // add this
alert("Handler for wrap container click.");
}
});
$(".inner-link").click(function (e) {
e.stopPropagation(); // or add this
alert("Handler for inner link click");
});
Try to use event.stopPropagation
Your jQuery codes should be modified as below:
$('.wrap').click(function () {
alert("Handler for wrap container click.");
});
$('.inner-link').click(function (event) {
event.stopPropogation();
alert("Handler for inner link click");
});
