The cancelBubble
property of the Event
interface is a historical alias to Event.stopPropagation()
. 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.
Syntax
event.cancelBubble = bool;
var bool = event.cancelBubble;
Value
A Boolean
.
Example
elem.onclick = function(event) {
// Do cool things here
event.cancelBubble = true;
}
