Multiple click events inside one element

Question

I have the following HMTL code:

<li>
    <img .../>
    <img .../>
    <img .../>
</li>

I want to register different functions for each element (one for the list item, and three other for the images). I registered click events on all but when I click the images, the li function triggers.

li.addEventListener("click",open,false);
img1.addEventListener("click",edit,false);
img2.addEventListener("click",delete,false);
img3.addEventListener("click",add,false);

I googled what happens when you set to true the last parameter but still no luck.

Thanks for all the help.

Answer 1

When you define your functions, stop event from propagating like so:

function open(e) {
   e.stopPropagation();
}

function edit(e) {
   e.stopPropagation()
}

and so on...

Answer 2

expanding on designcise's answer... you need to use e.stopPropagation() to stop the event from bubbling up

$('li img').on('click',function(e){
    e.stopPropagation();
    alert('img clicked');
});
