cancelBubble() Event Property

Prevent any bubbling of the current event:

function func1(event) {
alert("DIV 1");
event.cancelBubble = true;
}

Description

The cancelBubble() method prevents the event-flow from bubbling up to parent elements.

Tip: To prevent both bubbling up to parent elements and capturing down to child elements, use the stopPropagation() method instead.
