i am not too sure when and why do i have to use the event.stopPropagation() method. i suppose the event will be dispatched and we can just listen to the event if we want and don’t even bother about it if we don’t need it.

i have read the documentation but i am still not too sure and really understand the usage of this method.

i am just hoping i could get some words from guys here which are easier to understand. heh…thanks! 🙂
