Hello Friends!

We are finding it difficult to separate onclick event of image and onmousedown event of TD on which the image is present. Both these events are getting fired simultaneously.

How can we specify like in the image's area the TD event should not get caught? Or how can we handle this?

Regards,
Leena

You're not giving us much to go on.

If you're not interested in an event, why have a handler for it?

Hey Thanks Bear your post made me go to the code.
I was trying to get help for a team mate who gave me the earlier explanation.

However, the real problem is in the two mousedown events here..


When user action is mousedown on the image for sort, we dont want the mousedown on the TH to trigger.

Leena

The sortOn handler will need to cancel the event. This is unfortunately a browser-specific action. (unless you are using a library such as Prototype that hides such differences behind a common API).

In IE, you'll set the cancelBubble propoerty of the event instance to true. In real browsers, you call the stopPropagation() method of the event instance.

What do you mean by Cancel the event?

Browser specific action -- are you referring to the way events are handled? The bubbling and opposite model?

I have never heard of the library you mentioned. I will look on the net also. But briefly can you tell me if this is used in any general web application or is it used for special purpose web applications?

Thank you!

Regards,
Leena

Close.



If you're doing anything but the most trivial of Javascript on your pages, libraries like Prototype or jQuery are great tools to have at your disposal to make things such as this (and a lot else) easier.
