bubbles Event Property

Example

Find out if a specific event can bubble or not:

var x = event.bubbles;
Try it Yourself »

Definition and Usage

The bubbles event property returns a Boolean value that indicates whether or not an event is a bubbling event.

Event bubbling directs an event to its intended target, and works like this:

  • When an object (like a button) is clicked, an event is directed to the object.
  • If an event handler is set for the object, the event handler is triggered.
  • Then the event bubbles up (like a bubble in water) to the objects parent.
  • If an event handler is set for the parent, this event handler is also triggered.
  • The event continues to bubble up, until it reaches the top (the document object).
  • Bubbling only stops if an event handler use the stopPropagation() method.

Browser Support

The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the property.
