Question

I’m not sure, but it seems like a bug.

Here are samples:

Maybe i’m doing something wrong?
Any solution for this?

Thanks 😉

Answer 1

Have you read the documentation?

Since the .live() method handles events once they have propagated to the top of the document, it is not possible to stop propagation of live events.

.live() ^[docs] binds the event handlers to the document root. You can even see this in the order of the logs you get:

this should't be triggered
clicked

The event handler at the div is executed before the live handler for the a element.

If you have to use .live(), then the only way to solve this would be to also bind the event the event handler to the div with .live():

$('div').live('click', function(){
    console.log("this should't be triggered");
});

DEMO

If you don’t have to use .live(), then just bind the handler to the a element in the normal way, using .click() ^[docs] or .bind() ^[docs].
