Event cancelling in Firefox

Hello

I am trying to stop an event bubbling up in Firefox. A function is called like this:

Code: Select all

<span onclick="popupTranscript(objectID,event);return false;" >...

The body has an onclick event handler which does various things. I don't want this to be called when the user clicks the span above.

In IE this is no problem. In the function popupTranscript I simply do

Code: Select all

window.event.cancelBubble=true

but what is the solution in Firefox? I tried e.preventDefault where e is the event object but nothing doing.

Anyone know?

Have you tried adding a browser check to your function and controlling it from there?

Hi Scott

The question is what is the FF method to cancel an event from bubbling up?

I can tell if I'm in IE of FF

With regards
