Stopping Propagation

Prevent event bubbling

Use stopPropagation() to prevent an event from bubbling to parent elements.

button.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
  e.stopPropagation(); // Parent won't see this
  handleButtonClick();
});

modal.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
  e.stopPropagation(); // Clicks inside modal don't close it
});
