stopPropagation() not working in Firefox

In IE this function works (shows the calendar and allow click outside to close the calendar)
but it does not work in FF. (The calendar do not appear) any ideas?

function showCalendarControl(textField) {
if (!e) var e = window.event;
e.cancelBubble = true;
if (e.stopPropagation) e.stopPropagation();
calendarControl.show(textField);

}

is this running fine?

function showCalendarControl(textField) {
calendarControl.show(textField);
}

HainKurt

if not, then ask the developer for calendarControl ;)

Ok I got it but in your example you do not pass it
ith should be something like this right?

yourElement.onclick = doSomething(somethinghere?) ;

Samuel Liew

No, the event is automatically passed to the function.

This works in IE but in FF gives "e is undefined error"

function showCalendarControl(textField) {
calendarControl.show(textField);
}
function stopProp(e){
            if (!e) var e = window.event;
            e.cancelBubble = true;
            if (e.stopPropagation) e.stopPropagation();
}
onclick="showCalendarControl(this);stopProp();"

I corrected like this now there is no error but still do not work in FF

onclick="showCalendarControl(this);stopProp;"

Samuel Liew

try this

function stopProp(e) {
  var event = e || window.event;
  if (event.stopPropagation) {
    event.stopPropagation();
  } else {
    event.cancelBubble = true;
  } 
}

Open in new window
