Prevent execution of parent event handler

by

You can add a handler for the child that will prevent the click event from propagating up:

function handler(event) {
    event.stopPropagation();
    // now do your stuff        
}
$('#a').add('#b').click(handler);

This way clicks to '#b' will not propagate to '#a'. Neither will clicks to '#c' go to '#b', and hence not to '#a'.
