Summary
Indicates whether the given event bubbles up through the DOM or not.
Syntax
event.bubbles
Returns a Boolean value, which is true if the event bubbles up through the DOM.
Example
var bool = event.bubbles;
bool contains true or false, depending on whether the event can bubble or not.
Notes
Only certain events can bubble. Events that do bubble have this property set to true. You can use this property to check if an event is allowed to bubble or not.
Example
function goInput(e) {
// checks bubbles and
if (!e.bubbles) {
// passes event along if it's not
passItOn(e);
}
// already bubbling
doOutput(e)
}
