XML DOM stopPropagation() Method
Definition and Usage
By calling the stopPropagation() method, you can prevent the event from being dispatched.
Syntax
event.stopPropagation()
Description
This method will stop the propagation of the event, preventing it from being dispatched to other Document nodes. It can be called at any stage of event propagation. Note that although this method cannot prevent other event handlers on the same Document node from being called, it can prevent the dispatch of events to other nodes.
