Second, clicks propagate to parents. If you click on a link it will also receive the click for the paragraph the link is in, the div the paragraph is in, the body the div is in, and the html the body is in. I don't know how to solve that but the jQuery list is very friendly, I'm sure someone does.

The event will only have a single target attribute, so you can always test for equality in the handler. When you do handle the event at the target node, you can stop propagation of the event like so:

  [event].cancelBubble = true;
  if ([event].stopPropagation) [event].stopPropagation();

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
