Value

A boolean value, which is true if the event bubbles up through the DOM tree.

Example

function handleInput(e) {
  // Check whether the event bubbles passes the event along
  if (!e.bubbles) {
    passItOn(e);
  }
  // Already bubbling
  doOutput(e);
}

• stopPropagation() to prevent further propagation of the current event in the capturing and bubbling phases
• stopImmediatePropagation() to not call any further listeners for the same event at the same level in the DOM
• preventDefault() to allow propagation to continue but to disallow the browser to perform its default action should no listeners handle the event
