handle(): Stop event bubbling for other jQuery handlers?

[olau]

Shouldn't "return false;" in an event handler prevent other jQuery handlers from running? That's how I understand the docs.

Currently, code like this

$(".ensureLoggedIn").click(function (event) {

console.log("test1"); return false;

}).click(function() {

console.log("test2");

});

prints "test1" followed by "test2". Which is not surprising given that handle() in jQuery calls preventDefault and stopPropagation but doesn't stop the handler invocation loop. If you add "break;" after the call to stopPropagation in handle(), I only get "test1" and not "test2".

It stops the event from bubbling to a parent. It does not prevent other handlers from running on the same element. This is in accordance with the standards. It should also be noted that there is no guarantee to the order in which the handlers are invoked.

Okay, sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks.

FWIW, I've clarified the docs a bit (​http://docs.jquery.com/Events_%28Guide%29 and ​http://docs.jquery.com/Events/bind) for those of us who don't know the standards as well as others. :-)
