Click events on overlapping items

I have

• table r开发者_运维技巧ow with click event
• button with click event, that button is on table row

and I have problem. When I hit button, row click event execute too, but I don't want this behavior. I want only button click execute, without row click.

Using jQuery (due to question tag):

$('#yourButton').click(function(e) {
    // stop event from bubbling up to row element
    e.stopPropagation();

    // now do your stuff
});

look at your code this is what you should do in the button click event stopPropagation

You can call an extra function onClick

this is the function:

function cancelBubble(e){

    e.cancelBubble = true;
    if(e.stopPropagation)
     e.stopPropagation();
}

And button's onClick you can write like

onclick="yourfunctionname();cancelBubble(event)"

yourfunctionname:: is the name of your function you are already calling.

Also I had a dropdown overlayed on a clickable element. So just use the following to prevent propagation to the underlying element for all modern browsers

onclick="yourfunctiontohandle();event.stopPropagation();"

For older cross browser solution, must use IE event.cancelBubble

onclick="if(event.stopPropagation) event.stopPropagation(); else event.cancelBubble=true;"

Since global event is deprecated, if someone wants to do with plain javascript here is the way to stop propagation

document.querySelector("#outer").addEventListener('click', e => {console.log('Outer div clicked')});
document.querySelector("#inner").addEventListener('click', e => {console.log('Inner div clicked'); e.stopPropagation()});

<div id="outer" style="width: 100px; height: 100px; background-color: red; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center;">
    <div id="inner" style="background-color: black; width: 50px; height: 50px;"></div>
</div>
