# event.stopImmediatePropagation()

## event.stopImmediatePropagation ( ) version added: 1.3

Description: Keeps the rest of the handlers from being executed and prevents the event from bubbling up the DOM tree.

In addition to keeping any additional handlers on an element from being executed, this method also stops the bubbling by implicitly calling `event.stopPropagation()`. To simply prevent the event from bubbling to ancestor elements but allow other event handlers to execute on the same element, we can use `event.stopPropagation()` instead.

Use `event.isImmediatePropagationStopped()` to know whether this method was ever called (on that event object).

## Examples:

#### Example: Prevents other event handlers from being called.
