# Stopping event bubbling in JavaScript

Event bubbling can be stopped on any element through which the event is bubbling. To do this, call the `stopPropagation` method of the `Event` object in the element code.

In the following example, clicking on the red block will work on itself, then on the blue block and that's it - the blue block stops further bubbling and the green block will not react in any way:

`elem1.addEventListener('click', function() { console.log('green'); }); elem2.addEventListener('click', function(event) { console.log('blue'); event.stopPropagation(); // stops the propagation }); elem3.addEventListener('click', function() { console.log('red'); });`
