jquery: keep <a> link clickable in clickable div

Question

What I want to do is prevent the click on the div if a users clicks a link inside that div. but without using the .click(function() {}); on the link.

Here's the code:

$('div.feature').click(function() { window.location = $(this).attr('rel');});

here's an example content of the div:

<div id="feature" rel="urlnumberone">
some text
<a href="javascript:topicchange(this);" class="insideLink">Link</a>
</div>

And for some specific reason I can't use something like this

$('.insideLink').click(function(event){
    event.stopImmediatePropagation();
});

I have to use this "topicchange()" function, is there any way to prevent the event propagation?

Thanks!

The example that you've provided should work, except that your div has an id of 'feature', but in the js you're targeting a class. jsfiddle.net/SNP3K.

<div id="feature" rel="urlnumberone">
    some text
    <a href="#" class="insideLink">Link</a>
</div>

.

$('div#feature').click(function() { 
    alert('div');
});

$('.insideLink').click(function(event){
    event.stopImmediatePropagation();
    alert('link')
});
