Event.cancelBubble
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
Either true or false.
Example
elem.onclick = function(event) {
// Do cool things here
event.cancelBubble = true;
}
