How can I stop event propagation with Backbone.js?

Question

Using a Backbone.js View, say I want to include the following events:

    events: {
        \'click a\': \'link\', 
        \'click\': \'openPanel\' 
    }

Each of your event handlers will be passed an event object when it's triggered. Inside your handler, you need to leverage jQuery's event.stopPropagation() method. For example:

link: function(event) {  
  //do some stuff here
  event.stopPropagation();
}
