Question

$('input[name=boxes], .item_add a ').on('click', function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
 //do stuff inherent to both 
}

Is there a way to prevent the default action of scrolling when I click on a link [.item add a], but still keep the default action of checking and unchecking a checkbox input[name=boxes] without breaking these two into seperate onclick functions?

$('input[name=boxes], .item_add a ').on('click', function(e) {
     if($(e.target).is('a')) e.preventDefault(); //if it is a link then prevent

     //do stuff inherent to both 
})
