Hi guys, hope you can help me, this is tying my brain in knots.

I have a <DIV> element which calls a function using onclick. However, the DIV also contains links, which I want to not call the function when clicked on.

<DIV onClick=&quot;Call the function&quot;>
- Content -
<A href=&quot;URL&quot; onclick=&quot;Don't call the function&quot;></A>
- Content -
</DIV>

Also, these links already have onClick events assigned to them.

This is one way I can think of. The other way (which I'm not sure if it'll work) is that it could call the function, but if the function was called by the A tag, then it just returns.

Any advice or comments here would be gratefully accepted.

Thanks

Phil
