Tryit Editor v2.3

Edit This Code:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script src="../../ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $("span").click(function(event){ event.stopPropagation(); alert("The span element was clicked."); }); $("p").click(function(event){ alert("The p element was clicked."); }); $("div").click(function(){ alert("The div element was clicked."); }); }); </script> </head> <body> <div style="height:100px;width:500px;padding:10px;border:1px solid blue;background-color:lightblue;"> This is a div element. <p style="background-color:pink">This is a p element, in the div element. <br><span style="background-color:orange">This is a span element in the p and the div element.</span></p></div> <p><b>Note:</b> Click on each of the elements above. When clicking on the <b>div</b> element, it will alert that the div element was clicked. When clicking on the <b>p</b> element, it will return both the p and the div element, since the p element is inside the div element. But when clicking on the <b>span</b> element, it will only return itself, and not the p and the div element (even though its inside these elements). The event.stopPropagation() stops the click event from bubbling to the parent elements. </p> <p><b>Tip:</b> Try to remove the event.stopPropagation() line, and click on the span element again (the click event will now bubble up to parent elements).</p> </body> <!-- Mirrored from www.w3schools.com/jquery/tryit.asp?filename=tryjquery_event_stoppropagation by HTTrack Website Copier/3.x [XR&CO'2014], Fri, 23 Jan 2015 08:14:39 GMT --> </html>
