Because you are binding the click event to the a tag, not the li. So what
your saying is get all the a tags within each li (which is all the a tags in
your ul). You just need one more child selector in there between the li and
a to make sure you only select the immediate a tags of the li only ...
instead of all the a tags within the li.
$('#test > li > a').click(...);
