Browser support for stopImmediatePropagation?

Question

IE support for stopPropagation() is lacking, and requires workarounds, but I can't tell if the same thing is true for stopImmediatePropagation()- is it safe for all browsers, or does it requires its own set of workarounds?

Answer 1

I was wondering for the browser support of JavaScript's event.stopImmediatePropagation as well, so I decided to test it by checking whether the following method exists:

Event.prototype.stopImmediatePropagation

It's supported on the following desktop browsers:

• Internet Explorer 9+
• Firefox 10+
• Chrome 6+
• Safari 5.0+
• Opera 15+ (Presto doesn't support stopImmediatePropagation)

Answer 2

The stopPropagation mentioned on the other answer is related to the method natively available on browser for the event object , while the stopPropagation() method of jQuery works fine in all browser (since it's a wrapper for the same task, taking into account the browser capabilities in which this method is run)
