Hi,

I am handling a click on a list item with jquery:

$("#some_list li").click(function(event) {
    // magic happens here
    }

The list items look like:

<li><input type='checkbox'>Some text<span class='info'>(?)</span></li>

I want to have different behaviours depending on whether the user clicks within the (?), or anywhere else in the list. How can I detect which element the user clicked on?
