Question: I have a div element with some child controls in it (dropdowns and check boxes).

I need some jquery that will run when any of the child elements are clicked, but not when the empty space in the div is clicked.

What is the proper jQuery to accomplish this?

Answer: 
Roughly something like this 

```
$('YourDivSelector *').click(function(){
   // your stuff here
});

```
You can check if a children is clicked with `target.nodeName` e.x. :

```
$("#div").click(function(event) {
    console.log("clicked: " + event.target.nodeName);
});

```
