  <desc>Prevents the event from bubbling up the DOM tree, preventing any parent handlers from being notified of the event.   </desc>
  <longdesc>  <p>We can use <code><a href="/event.isPropagationStopped">event.isPropagationStopped()</a></code> to determine if this method was ever called (on that event object). </p>
  <p>This method works for custom events triggered with <a href="/trigger">trigger()</a>, as well.</p>
  <p>Note that this will not prevent other handlers <em>on the same element</em> from running. </p> </longdesc>
