    The click event ‘bubbles’ up through the DOM, firing on every parent element unless you use ev.stopPropagation():

    $('#nav').click(function(ev) {
    ev.stopPropagation();
    var leftMargin = ($(this).css('margin-left') === '0px') ? '-150px' : '0px';
    $(this).animate({ 'margin-left' : leftMargin }, 500);
});
