i have a piece of code like this.
// HTML file
<div class="box" ng-click="displayinfo()">
click here to display info about this page.
<div class="content" ng-click="displaytext()">
Click here to display text.
</div>
click here to display info about this page.
</div>
// JS file
$scope.displayinfo = function()
{
alert('info');
}
$scope.displaytext = function()
{
alert('Text');
}
the thing is while clicking on 'click here to display text', it is calling both functions and displaying 'Text' and 'info'. but i dnt want to display 'info' here. i cannot change the html div structure.
how to do that?
It's a little hidden in the docs, but if you look here: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:ngClick
You can see that parameters it mentions an $event object. So your html will become:
<div class="box" ng-click="displayinfo($event)">
click here to display info about this page.
<div class="content" ng-click="displaytext($event)">
Click here to display text.
</div>
click here to display info about this page.
</div>
and then your javascript will become:
$scope.displayinfo = function($event)
{
$event.stopPropagation();
alert('info');
}
$scope.displaytext = function($event)
{
$event.stopPropagation();
alert('Text');
}

Instead calling functions there inline use jquery to solve this issue:
$('.box').click(function(){
displayinfo();
});
$('.content').click(function(e){
e.stopPropagation(); //<-------------------this will stop the bubbling
displaytext();
});
demo code for e.stopPropagation()
: http://jsfiddle.net/HpZMA/
var a = "text for info";
$('.box').click(function(){
$(this).append(a)
});
var b = "text for info";
$('.content').click(function(e){
e.stopPropagation(); //<-------------------this will stop the bubbling
$(this).append(b)
});
For native javascript solution you need to pass event
as argument to your 2 methods in order to prevent the event from propagating
<div class="box" onclick="displayinfo(event)">
Then change js to:
var displayinfo = function(event) {
event.cancelBubble = true
alert('info')
}
var displaytext = function(event) {
event.cancelBubble = true
alert('text')
}
whatever you are getting.stopPropagation(); in your case
$event.stopPropagation();
