Js Bubbling Event Blocks __function

The event object is now stored in the event handler. The Event.target property holds the target element in which the event occurred. This attribute is specified in the DOM API, but is not implemented by all browsers. jquery makes the necessary extensions to this event object to be able to use this property in any browser. With. Target, you can determine the element in the DOM that receives the event first (that is, the element that is actually clicked). Also, we know that this refers to the DOM element that handles the event, so you can write the following code:
$ (document). Ready (function () {
$ (' #switcher '). Click (Function (event) {
$ (' #switcher. Button '). Toggleclass (' hidden ');
})
})

$ (document). Ready (function () {
$ (' #switcher '). Click (Function (event) {
if (event.target==this) {
$ (' #switcher. Button '). Toggleclass (' hidden ');
}
})
})
The code at this point ensures that the clicked element is <div id= "switcher" >, not other descendant elements. Now, clicking the button does not collapse the style converter, and clicking the border triggers the collapse operation. However, clicking the label also doesn't happen because it is also a descendant element. In fact, instead of putting the check code here, we can achieve the goal by modifying the behavior of the button.

2. Stop Event Propagation

The event object also provides a. Stoppropagation () method that can completely block event bubbling. Like. Target, this method is also a pure JavaScript feature, but it is not safe to use in a cross-browser environment. However, we can safely use this method as long as we register all the event handlers through jquery.

Below, we delete the check statement just added Event.target = = This and add some code to the button's click handler:

$ (document). Ready (function () {
$ (' #switcher. Button '). Click (Funtion (Event) {
......
Event.stoppropagation ();
})
})

As before, you need to add a parameter to the function used as a click handler to access the event object. Then, by simply calling Event.stoppropagation (), all other DOM elements can be prevented from responding to this event. As a result, the button's event is handled by the button and is handled only by the button. Click elsewhere in the style converter to collapse and expand the entire area.

3. Default Action

If we register a click event handler with an anchor element instead of an outer <div>, there is another problem: when the user clicks the link, the browser loads a new page. This behavior is not the same concept as the event handler we are discussing, it is the default action for clicking an anchor element. Similarly, when a user presses the ENTER key after editing the form, it touches the submit event of the publication, and the form submission does not actually occur after the event occurs.

If we do not want to perform this default action, it also does not help to invoke the. Stoppropagation () method on the event object because the default action does not occur in the normal event propagation stream. In this case, the. Preventdefault () method can terminate the event before the default action is triggered.

Tip When some validation is done in the environment of an event, the. Preventdefault () is usually used. For example, during the form submission, we check whether the user has filled in the required fields, and if the user does not fill in the fields, then the default action will need to be blocked. We will discuss form validation in the 8th chapter in detail.

Event propagation and default operations are two separate sets of mechanisms that can terminate on either side when they occur. If you want to stop event propagation and the default action at the same time, you can return false in the event handler, which is a shorthand for calling both. Stoppropagation () and. Preventdefault () on the event object.
