What is event.stopPropagation()?

1.	What is event.stopPropagation()?
Answer» event.stopPropagation() stops the event from propagating up the DOM tree, preventing any parent handlers from being notified of the event. For example, if a link with a click method is linked inside of a DIV or FORM that also has a click method attached, the DIV or FORM click method will not fire.
