[jQuery] Re: div contains -> select div but NOT li

Okay I'll try to explain better.

Imagine an image, it's a rectangle.

you can have a div with this image for background :

like this :

<div id="plan">
....
</div>

Then, with CSS, you can do this :

#plan{
background:url(my image url);
width : image width;
height: image height....
}

Well, my image is representing a map.

over my map, I have little icons (like in google map : you have the
map and spots)

that's why I have something like this :

<div id="plan"> <-- this is the map ID, with the map image for
background
<ul>
<li>....</li>
<li>....</li> <-- each li represents a spot. the spot is an
image displayed at the spot position in the map -->
<li>....</li>
</ul>
</div>

I want to be able to click on the map (on the div #plan) but NOT on a
li element.

Is it more understandable ?

Thank you very much

I explain my problem : I want to do a map-like: It means a div with background images, and some elements on it (a bit like in google map : you have the map in background, and stuff you can click over it. well i have this code : <div id="plan"> <ul> <li>....</li> <li>....</li> <li>....</li> </ul> </div> I would like to select #plan but NOT the li element inside. I tried some stuff but didn't succeed. I'm sure experts from here will solve this problem in less in a second. Thank you VERY MUCH in advance.
