stopPropagation does not work

[filipe.abreu]

I have the following not working:

HTML <div id="contacts_box>

<div>

<input type="checkbox" id="contact_id_7" name="contact[id]" /> <label for="contact_id_7"></label>

</div>

</div>

JS (on DOM ready) $("#contacts_box > div input").live("click", function(event) {

event.stopPropagation();

})

Yet the event continues to bubble up the DOM tree.

How do you know it continues to bubble up the tree? Please reopen and attach a complete test case.
