Event.stopPropagation() Does Not Work
Dec 11, 2003
I have a DIV that contains some links. I have an onmouseout event handler on the DIV, and I want it triggered only when the mouse leaves the DIV. Since there are Anchors in the DIV, onmouseout events will be generated when the mouse moves from one link to another, and those events will bubble up to the DIV. According to all the documentation that I have read, I should be able to prevent that from happening by having an onmouseout event handler for each of the anchors, and calling event.stopPropagation in the event handler. But it is not working in Mozilla and Opera, the onmouseout still bubbles up from the anchor to the DIV. I have it working in IE, but that is because IE does not support stopPropagation(), and instead uses window.event.cancelBubble=true, which Mozilla and Opera do not support. Code:

I'm doing a tree-like structure using divs inside divs. I use event.stopPropagation() to stop parent events from firing when clicking inside them. This works just fine in Chrome and Firefox, but in IE8, I get an error message ("Object doesn't support this property or method") and the events propagate to the parents.
[Code]...
This works fine in Firefox and Chrome, but IE8 throws an error on event.stopPropagation(); saying "Object doesn't support this property or method". I have tried passing event as an argument to the function that handles the stopping of propagation but that doesn't help either. What's wrong and how do I fix it?

As far as I understood, stopPropagation() is supposed to stop events bubbling 'up' though the element tree (through parent elements). Eg. If I use stopPropagation() on a click event on an anchor element in a list, the event would not be triggered on the list. In my code I have a popup div, that needs to have stopPropagation(), as a click on the document (everywhere other than the popup) will hide it. When I add an element to the popup that has a live click event, the live click event is never called, even though it is a child element of the popup. Shouldn't the live click get called first? If I remove the stopPropagation all is well.. some code:
$('#a_test_link').live("click", function(e){
e.preventDefault();
alert('done!');
});
[Code].....

I am working on creating a JQuery program that will take an unordered list and dynamically expand it using ajax calls. This is my code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.child').click(function(event) {
event.stopPropagation(); var uid = $(this).attr('id').substring(10);

On this page I'm given the impression that stopPropagation is a lot
like returning false:
http://www.brainjar.com/dhtml/events/default3.asp
"preventDefault() Can be used to cancel the event, if it is
cancelable. This prevents the browser from performing any default
action for the event, such as loading a URL when a hypertext link is
clicked. Note that the event will continue propagating along the normal
event flow.preventDefault() Can be used to cancel the event, if it
is cancelable. This prevents the browser from performing any default
action for the event, such as loading a URL when a hypertext link is
clicked. Note that the event will continue propagating along the normal
event flow."
But often, if I want to stop a hyperlink from working normally, I can
simply return false from whatever action I've attached to that
hyperlink. Suppose I have this link:
<a id="link1" href="index.htm">link text</a>
Suppose I attach the function "alertDanger" to this link:
function alertDanger() {
alert("Danger!");
return false;
}
Because I return false, the default behavior doesn't occur. Would there
ever be a benefit to doing this instead:
function alertDanger() {
alert("Danger!");
preventDefault();
}
Perhaps preventDefault is only for those occassions when the code can
not or should not return?

I am trying to accomplish something like this:
<p>
text <a>link</a>
</p>
----
$("p").live("click", ... something cool...);
$("p a").live("click", function(e){e.stopPropagation();});
//so the link is still followed but the click event on the P is not triggered.
This fails since live events bubble differently than bound events. So, what I have to do instead is $("p a").live("click", function(e){return false;}); but then the link is not followed. So, I do $("p a").live("click", function(e) location.href=this.href; return false;}); but then "open in new window" doesn't function correctly. Is there a good way to overcome this limitation/behavior?

I got following document:
When you click the main button, will one of the six images get a background image, and you can then press the image with the background image, and get your "reflextime".
But it won't work. When I press the image, were the new background image has shown, you can click on it and get your time - why?'

I'm trying to use the addEventListener function to set an event listener but I don't understand why it won't work. Before i was using another method to handle events, but I needed more control over which event handlers get run and when.
Code:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function runMe(){
[Code]....
I'm using Google Chrome, but it won't work in Firefox either. Obviously it won't work in IE, since IE doesn't support that method. The script gives no errors at all. The runMe() function does get executed, I tested this with alerts.

When I register an event handler directly into the HTML tag everything works fine, but I'm trying to register them from the external JS file where the function is, and that doesn't work at all. I've read that this is called the "traditional method" and that it should work.
I've tried it a million different ways, but what I'm putting below AFAIK is correct... but it just doesn't work. I've tried it in Firefox, IE, and Chrome - and used the "Inspect element" feature in Chrome, and am not getting any error messages.
Here is just a simple example of what I'm trying to do - its extremely basic, I know, but I just can't figure out why it won't work.
HTML:
JS:
(Again, it works perfectly when I stick the onclick="message()" event handler directly into the HTML h1 tag, but not when in the external file.)

I am trying to make one application. When we slect value from select box . It will show same type of row according to which value we select from select box.
Let me explain my problem: select box have value 0,1,2,3 . When we select 1 then it will show one row below the select box naming person1 name (input box for name of person1). if we will select value 2 from select box then it will show two row according to select value Like this
person1 Enter Name of person1
person2 Enter Name of person2
By default it have value 0 then it will not show any row below the select box.
i want to do this. But i do not know how i can do this . I think for this i have to onchange event in select box .But in correct way i do not know how it is possible.

I have identical code in my index that works, so I'm just guessing the error is somewhere else, I know IE is not the best target to aim for - but I really want this to work in the windows default browser....
Here is the php page...
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>[code]....
and here is the javascript that works in the index but not here...
function Abort()
{
document.location="AddFamilyMember.php";
};
When I load the page everything looks ok, but click on the abort button, and all that happens is that the little error symbol pops in the lower left of IE. The names of the two files are "AddFamilyMember.php" and "AddFamilyMember.js".

I have been trying to archieve the following with no luck.
- We have a Java Applet that handles fileuploads
- Once the applet finished uploading the files to server, onUploadFinish() is triggered
onUploadFinish() function contains the following
Code:
As highlighted in the above code, I am unable to submit the form automatically. I am certain that onUploadFinish() is triggered because all other statements in onUploadFinish() kicks in and the whole thing works like a charm apart from submission. Is there a rule that forms cannot be submitted this way?

I'm writing a JavaScript Equation Editor / Whiteboard App, and i seem to be having a problem with one line of JavaScipt Code.... The Equation Editor is hosted live here:[URL] I have used the DOM Inspector (i'm using firefox) to look at the onMouseDown= event code, and it should work.... However, when i try to drag a Math Element Image to a different location (after it has been added to the page by clicking on the Math Element Keyboard), it does nothing. I looked on the Error Console, and there is nothing there.
I looked at the Node value in the DOM inspector, and it is as it should be. I have also tried changing and removing some double quotes and single quotes, as that has worked in the past on similar code snippets.

I'm trying to add a simple growing effect to a div using jquery, i'd like to create a button that changes his dimentions on the over event of the mouse and turn back to the original dimensions once the mouse is out.
I've used the hover event and I've created 2 functions:one for the growing effect used on the over status and the other one for the reduce effect used on the out status.In IE 7 I've got this error: the growing function is working but the reduction function is not working at all the error code on javascript it's only "Invalid property value".
Here some code:
function makeBig(){
$(this).animate({
"opacity":"0.80",
"width":"200px",

I'm messing around with the two new event handling methods .on() and .off() but I seem to be doing something wrong... My code;
<div id="links-wrapper">
<a href="#">Click me #1</a>
<a href="#">Click me #2</a>
<a href="#">Click me #3</a>
</div>
[Code]...
What happens is that a click event is being attached to the anhors after the html loaded. The handler alerts which link you clicked and should then remove all events from the anchors from the given selector (resulting in that you should not be able to fire the event again) but this doesn't happen.

I found the bug ticket with similar problem: [URL] but it was closed as invalid. The problem still exists for me. I have the following live event: $("a:not([onclick])").live('click', ajaxLinkHandler); It's not applying to content loaded via $.ajax(...).responseXML which I used to append in the following way:
// withing ajaxLinkHandler
var content = $(loadedDocument).find("[component='"+ id +"']");
$(this.contentContainer).empty().append(content);

I have image thumbnails on the right of the page. When the user clicks on a thumbnail I want two events to happen.
1. I want the image in the center of the page named "swap" to swap to a larger version of the clicked thumbnail.
2. I want the person's bio to pop up in a div to the right of the bigger picture.
The page looks fine in Firefox 2.0, Ie7, but the image doesn't swap in ie6. The text switches, but the image doesn't pop up.
