Question

Is it possible to disable the jquery click when a href link (inside the clickable div) was clicked?

HTML

<div id="test">
    <a href="http://google.de">google</a>
</div>

JS

$(document).ready(function()
{
    $('#test').click(function() {
        alert('the link was not clicked'); 
    });
});

I’m not sure what you want, but adding –

 $('a').click(function(e) {
        e.stopPropagation();
        e.preventDefault();
    });

would prevent the link click from firing and also stop the link click bubbling up to the ‘div’ click event.
