event-bubbling

I have a div with a link inside of it: <div id="myDiv"> <a href="http://www.lol.com">Lol</a> </div> Clicking the <div /> should go somewhere, but clicking the child <a /> should go to www.lol.com. I've seen from previous questions and the jQuery website that .stopPropagation prevents bubbling upwards, but how do I prevent a bubble downwards (isn't that what's necessary here?). Geoff Events only bubble up. So the click event handler for the a element is fired before the click event handler for the div . If you want the behaviour you describe, the you need to add a click event handler to the a

In my WPF application I have a ListView whose ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility is set to Disabled . It is contained within a ScrollViewer . When I attempt to use the mouse wheel over the ListView , the outer ScrollViewer does not scroll because the ListView is capturing the scroll events. How can I force the ListView to allow the scroll events to bubble up to the ScrollViewer ? You need to capture the preview mouse wheel event in the inner listview ctl.PreviewMouseWheel += PreviewMouseWheel; then stop the event from scrolling the listview and raise the event in the parent listview.

I have an interesting situation - I have a table row which, currently, shows it's hidden counterpart when I click the "Expand" button. The original (unhidden) row which contains the expand button also has some content in a certain cell which, when clicked, becomes editable. I would like to be rid of the expand button, and enable expanding of the row via doubleclick anywhere in the row itself, including the field that turns editable when you click it. You can smell the trouble here already. When I double click a row, two click events are fired first, before the dblclick occurs. This means if I

How can i capture a click or mousedown event on a div surrounding an iframe. I've tried attaching the funciton to click event on the div but since the iframe never bubbles the event up to the surrounding div the function is never called. Is there a way i can capture the event on the div and then propagate it to the iframe for default action If the click is in the iframe area, the iframe context handles the click event, it does not bubble up to the iframe parent. So the div will never register the click event at all if it happened in the iframe area. Furthermore, if the iframe contains a page

For example I have this code: $('.myclass').bind('amodaldestroy', function(){ ....does something..... }) How do I only allow this to be triggered once on the first element it finds when bubbling? Can I just add return false ? $('.myclass').bind('amodaldestroy', function(){ ....does something..... return false; }) According to jQuery's documentation : $('myclass').bind('amodaldestroy'), function(event) { ...

I would like to know whether this is the correct way of hiding visible elements when clicked anywhere on the page. $(document).click(function (event) { $('#myDIV:visible').hide(); }); The element (div, span, etc.) shouldn't disappear when a click event occurs within the boundaries of the element. Jeremy B. If I understand, you want to hide a div when you click anywhere but the div, and if you do click while over the div, then it should NOT close. You can do that with this code: $(document).click(function() { alert("me"); }); $(".myDiv").click(function(e) { e.stopPropagation(); // This is the
