How to determine if child was clicked in Jquery

Question

Is there a ways in jQuery to tell which child was clicked if the onclick event was binded to the parent?

For instance:

  $(\'#daddy\').click(function ()          


        

Answer 1

Try this for an alternative

$('#daddy span').click(function () {
    var clicked = $(this).attr('id');
    if(clicked == "son"){
        return true;
    }
    return false;
});
