Answer 1

Filter only filters what is already selected. In your case, the #nav-bar element.

You need this:

$('div#nav-bar a').click(function(event){
        event.preventDefault();
    });

Answer 2

filter is the wrong method to use here. you should either use find to look for elements in a selection:

$('div#nav-bar').find('a')...

or simply combine that into one selector:

$('div#nav-bar a')...

after you've fixed that, your preventDefault will actually get applied and work, theres nothing wrong with that piece of code directly.
