jquery-events

i have this jquery code:

 $(this).parent('.copyFoodInstance').attr("myset", "0");
 $(this).parent('.copyFoodInstance').html("<img  BORDER=0 src='../../images/copy1.png' />");

it seems that when i call this code, this event fires:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('div.copyFoodInstance').live('click', function() {

does anyone know why this event fires from the lines above? is there anyway to stop if from firing? All i am doing is updating an attribute on the div and updating the html. this shouldn't fire a click event?
