Hi John, I think what you want is event.target
$("li.selectable").click(function(e){console.log(e.target)});
<http://docs.jquery.com/Events_%28Guide%29>
I'm so happy I bookmarked that page because I can't find a link to it
anywhere (not even on Google!). Is it old/new?

Thanks Karl.
However, that doesn't give me what I'm after...:)
A little more explanation. This is my pseudo-HTML
<li class="selectable">
content content content
<a href="##1">some link</a>
content content content
content content content
<img src="##" />
content content content
content content content
content content content
content content content
<a href="##1">some link</a>
</li>
Clicking on any element within this block will trigger the event. But I
want
to know if the <A> or <IMG> elements were clicked.
Your suggestion returns me "li" regardless of where I click.
Thanks again.
John
