Event: cancelBubble property
Deprecated
Avoid using this feature in new projects. This feature may be a candidate for removal from web standards or browsers.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.
The cancelBubble property of the Event
interface is deprecated. Use Event.stopPropagation() instead.
Setting its value to true before returning from an event handler prevents propagation
of the event. In later implementations, setting this to false does nothing.
See Browser compatibility for details.
Value
A boolean value. The value true means that the event must not be propagated further.
Example
js
elem.onclick = (event) => {
// Do cool things here
event.cancelBubble = true;
};
