Description

It is suggested to create a function called stopEvent:

function stopEvent(ev){
	var e = ev? ev : window.event;
	e.cancelBubble = true;
	if (e.stopPropagation) e.stopPropagation();
	return false;	
}	

This function would allow us to replace all instances of code like:

	e.cancelBubble = true;
	if(e.stopPropagation) e.stopPropagation();

with

stopEvent(e);

I've tested this on FF2, IE6 and IE7 and it works well.

Including the line var e = ev? ev : window.event; and returning false means that you can assign this function directly as the onclick or ondblclick for any DOM element where all click events should be prevented from bubbling.

document.getElementById("dontAllowDoubleClick").ondblclick = stopEvent;
