event-bubbling

I have a div with a link inside of it:

<div id="myDiv">
    <a href="http://www.lol.com">Lol</a>
</div>

Clicking the <div /> should go somewhere, but clicking the child <a /> should go to www.lol.com. I've seen from previous questions and the jQuery website that .stopPropagation prevents bubbling upwards, but how do I prevent a bubble downwards (isn't that what's necessary here?).
