Unless you have bound click handler to those links from another part of your code, you are looking at it backwards and want to bind a handler that stops browser default

try this

    $j('li ul.children li').has('ul.children')
                              .css('background-color', 'red')
                              .children('a').click(function(){
                  return false;
      });;

Thanks that did it!

Here's my complete code now (I added .attr("href", "#") to prevent the urls from showing up)

JQuery

1. $j('li ul.children li').has('ul.children')
                                 .children('a')
                                 .addClass('nohover')
                                 .attr("href", "#")
                                 .click(function(){
                     return false;
         });
   

CSS

1. a.nohover {cursor:default!important;}
   
2. a.nohover:hover {text-decoration:none!important;}
