Thanks, e.stopImmediatePropagation() works fine. But e.stopPropagation
() and return false; doesn't.
Sorry John, I don't have example url available.
However I can post example code here:
<ul id="list">
<li id="item_1"><a href="#">Item 1</a></li>
<li id="item_2"><a href="#">Item 2</a></li>
<li id="item_3"><a href="#">Item 3</a></li>
<li id="item_4"><a href="#">Item 4</a></li>
</ul>
Script is:
$("#list li a").live('click', function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
alert('a clicked');
});
$("#list li").live('click', function(e) {
alert('li clicked');
});
If I change the e.stopPropagation() line to e.stopImmediatePropagation
() then it works fine, thanks Ariel. Could it be a bug, or just me
being stupid (I am good at being stupid)?
Walther.
