How to stop event propagation with inline onclick attribute?

Question

Consider the following:

Answer 1

Keep in mind that window.event is not supported in FireFox, and therefore it must be something along the lines of:

e.cancelBubble = true

Or, you can use the W3C standard for FireFox:

e.stopPropagation();

If you want to get fancy, you can do this:

function myEventHandler(e)
{
    if (!e)
      e = window.event;

    //IE9 & Other Browsers
    if (e.stopPropagation) {
      e.stopPropagation();
    }
    //IE8 and Lower
    else {
      e.cancelBubble = true;
    }
}
