How to disable anchor tag click when clicked on bootstrap toggle button inside it

Question

I am new to BootstrapToggle and I am using Bootstrap toggle button inside an anchor tag like this :

Here is the code snippet :

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://gitcdn.github.io/bootstrap-toggle/2.2.2/css/bootstrap-toggle.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://gitcdn.github.io/bootstrap-toggle/2.2.2/js/bootstrap-toggle.min.js"></script>
<a onclick="alert('hello'); return false;">
   <span>Hello World</span>
   
   <input type="checkbox" data-toggle="toggle" data-on="Accepted" data-off="Rejected" data-onstyle="success">
        
</a>

Now If I toggle the button the anchor tag alert also gets called. I want only my button to be toggled If I change it not the anchor tag alert should be called in that case.

Any help would be appreciated.

It is a strange solution to wrap the button with the anchor, but if this is what you want...

You can try something like that

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://gitcdn.github.io/bootstrap-toggle/2.2.2/css/bootstrap-toggle.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://gitcdn.github.io/bootstrap-toggle/2.2.2/js/bootstrap-toggle.min.js"></script>
<a href="javascript:void(0);">
   <span id="MySpan">Hello World</span>
   
   <input type="checkbox" data-toggle="toggle" data-on="Accepted" data-off="Rejected" data-onstyle="success">
        
</a>

<script>

$('#MySpan').click(function() {

alert('hello world');
});

</script>
