Click events on overlapping items

Question

I have

• table row with click event
• button with click event, that button is on table row

and I have problem. When I hit button, row click event execute too, but I don't want this behavior. I want only button click execute, without row click.

Answer 1

Using jQuery (due to question tag):

$('#yourButton').click(function(e) {
    // stop event from bubbling up to row element
    e.stopPropagation();

    // now do your stuff
});
