The event.stopPropagation () method is an inbuilt method in jQuery which is used to stop the windows propagation. In the DOM tree when setting an event with the child element and the parent element as well then if you hit on the child element event it will call both child and the parent element as well.
The event.stopImmediatePropagation () is an inbuilt method in jQuery used to stop the rest of the event handlers from being executed for the selected element. Parameter: No parameter is required. Return Value: This method return the selected element with the applied change.
Last Updated: 17-07-2019 The event.stopPropagation () method is an inbuilt method in jQuery which is used to stop the windows propagation. In the DOM tree when setting an event with the child element and the parent element as well then if you hit on the child element event it will call both child and the parent element as well.
Note that this will not prevent other handlers on the same element from running. Since the .live () method handles events once they have propagated to the top of the document, it is not possible to stop propagation of live events.
You just need to change the order of your handlers a bit, and use/check for propagation stopping, like this:
$("a.infolink").live("click",function(e){
$("a.infolink").removeClass("selected");
$("div.infomenu").hide();
$(this).addClass("selected");
$(this).next().show();
e.stopPropagation();
});
$("div.infomenu").live("click",function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
});
$(document).click(function(e){
if(e.isPropagationStopped()) return; //important, check for it!
$("a.infolink").removeClass("selected");
$("div.infomenu").hide();
});
$("input.clickme").click(function(e){
alert("I am fired");
});
Give it a try here, there are a few important points to keep in mind:
.live() handlers are on document
You need to stop and check the propagation since we're at the same level. .stopPropagation() would prevent the bubbling from going any higher but that doesn't matter, it's at the same level in the DOM, so you need to check if it was stopped, using .isPropagationStopped(). Also, since the handlers fire in order, you need to bind that document.onclick after your other event handlers, otherwise it'll execute first, before the others tried to stop propagation.

That is because .live() relies on event propagation.
The event is not actually placed on the element, but rather on the root node. The event then bubbles up to that node, checks the selector to see if it has a match, and fires if so.
Because the event isn't fired until it is already at the top of the hierarchy, there's no propagation left to stop.
