The carouFredSel with < a > doesn't work for me well with swipe 'inside'. You can use excludedElements, but on Ipad you'll have to hold your finger to use < a > (longTap). That's not good for users. If you try to use carouFredSel({ swipe:( option { tap: function ... it won't work (at least in my case).

My solution is to use swipe (touchSwipe) separately:

$(".carusel").swipe({
  excludedElements: "button, input, select, textarea, .noSwipe",
  swipeLeft: function() {
    $('.carusel').trigger('next', 4);
  },
  swipeRight: function() {
    $('.carusel').trigger('prev', 4);
  },
  tap: function(event, target) {
    window.open($(target).closest('.carusel-cnt').find('carusel-cnt-link').attr('href'), '_self');
  }
});
