How to Prevent Parent Event Handlers from Executing with Child Element Clicks in jQuery?

Preventing Execution of Parent Event Handlers

In the given HTML structure, clicking on any div element triggers the click handler of its parent div, leading to unintended behavior. To prevent this, we can disable the click event propagation using jQuery.

<div>

function func() {
   if ($(childId).hasClass("visible")){
    $(childId).removeClass("visible");
    $(childId).addClass("invisible");
}

To disable the click event propagation, add an event handler to the child elements that calls the stopPropagation() method:

function handler(event) {
    event.stopPropagation();
    // Custom code to execute for the child's click event
}

$('#a').add('#b').click(handler);

By preventing event propagation, clicks on child elements ('#b') will no longer trigger the parent element's click handler ('#a'). Similarly, clicks on descendant elements ('#c') will not propagate to both parent elements ('#b' and '#a').
