JQuery :: Event.target - Click Anchor As Matched Element

consider the following code;

$("#content").click(function(event)
{
if($(event.target).is('a'))
{
$(this).//do something
}
}

I'm binding a click event to a div so that I can see whether is was the div or some element inside the div that has been clicked. When the if() in my code evaluates to true $(this) is still equal to $("#content") whereas I'd like to have the clicked anchor as matched element. How would I do this?
