Conflicting event-handling in jQuery

I have a <div> like this:

<div id="Field1">
  <label id="label1">Name</label><br/>
  <input type="text" data-attr="text" style="..." id="input1"/><br/>
  <label id="instr1"/>
  <div class="xfb-row-options1">
    <a class="button-delete" src="..." style="...">-</a> 
  </div>
</div>

I already have a jQuery function:

$("#fb_contentarea_col1down21 div").live("click", function(){
  // some stuff to change the properties of the Field,
  // like changing the field name, size.
  return false;
});

I have a <div> with a "delete" image button inside it, and I want to delete this on clicking "button-delete1". I tried it with:

$("#fb_contentarea_col1down21 div div .button-delete1").live("click", function(){
  //deleting the Div Field1
  return false;
});

Now both my functions conflict. When I click on "button-delete1", my function #1 gets executed and shows me an error.

Use the remove method to delete the div, and stopPropagation from causing the click event on the delete button from firing the click event on the parent div:

  $("#fb_contentarea_col1down21 div div .button-delete1").live("click", function(e){
      e.stopPropagation();
      $("#Field1").remove();
      return false;
  });
