Question

If I insert an image inside an <a> tag, how could I avoid, using js if it was necessary, that when someone clicks on that image it doesn’t follow the link.

Answer 1

You need to handle the <img>‘s click event and return false;.

For example:

<img src="..." href="..." onclick="return false;" />

Or, using jQuery:

$('a.SomeClass img').click(function() { return false; });

However, the best solution is to move the <img> outside the <a> tag.
