The stopPropagation()
method of the Event
interface prevents further propagation of the current event in the capturing and bubbling phases. It does not, however, prevent any default behaviors from occurring; for instance, clicks on links are still processed. If you want to stop those behaviors, see the preventDefault()
method. It also does not prevent propagation to other event-handlers of the current element. If you want to stop those, see stopImmediatePropagation()
.
