What is stopPropagation in JavaScript?

Can you explain what stopPropagation does in JavaScript?

Sure! stopPropagation is a method that prevents the event from bubbling up to parent elements.

Why would I want to use stopPropagation?

You might use it to prevent parent event handlers from being triggered when a child element is clicked.

Can you give me an example of how to use it?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example: if you have a button inside a div, calling stopPropagation on the button's click event will prevent the div's click event from firing.

Are there any drawbacks to using stopPropagation?

Yes, overusing it can lead to unexpected behavior, as it may prevent other necessary event handlers from executing.
