<pclass="desc"><strong>Description: </strong> This method prevents the event from bubbling up the DOM tree, preventing any parent handlers from being notified of the event. </p>
<p>We can use <code>.isPropagationStopped()</code> to determine if this method has been called by an event handler that was triggered by this event. </p>
<p>This method works for custom events triggered with <ahref="/trigger">trigger()</a>, as well.</p>
<p>Note that this will not prevent other handlers <em>on the same element</em> from running. Use the method <ahref="/event.isPropagationStopped">event.isPropagationStopped()</a> to know whether this method was ever called (on that event object). </p>
