Description

The stopPropagation method the event, preventing further upward bubbling of the event. This means that no event listeners higher up in the document hierarchy will receive this event.

Warning: In many script implementationsstopPropagation also seems to prevent any default actions for this event by the UA, such as the activation of the right-click context menu. It is not clear that this should be the case from DOM3, which indicates that preventDefault should be used to do that.
