Right, so that explains all. Nobody paid any attention to the "nested
in certain DIVs" part, including me:
$('input').filter(function(){
return !$(this).parent().is('#addNewAdress,#addNewContactDetail');
}).click(function(){
console.log(this.id);
});
read on about the filter function at http://docs.jquery.com/Traversing,
and make sure you post the full code next time :)
