What's the difference between cancelBubble and stopPropagation?

Question

Can anyone please tell me difference in usage of cancelBubble and stopPropagation methods used in javascript.

Answer 1

For compatibility with IE8 and older use .cancelBubble if .stopPropogation() is undefined:

if(ev.stopPropagation)ev.stopPropagation();
else ev.cancelBubble=true; // where ev is an event object
