Hey Joel,
You should be able to do that using event.target. Try this:
$('ul').one('click', function(event) {
if ( !$(event.target).is('a') ) {
// your code here
}
});
Untested, but should work.

I have links in an unordered list and want to do
$('ul').one('click',fn); without having the links inside the ul
respond to that first click. Can it be done? How?
I tried doing e.preventCapture inside fn. No worky. Either does return
false, and I think I tried all of the other similar methods such as
stopPropagation, preventDefault, etc.
No matter what I do, the anchor element within the list always
receives the get's focussed. I'd really appreciate some advice on how
to get around this. I tried the IRC channel but when I mentioned that
I think the click captures down through the DOM before bubbling back
up, people's heads exploded. ;)
Thanks
