In the example below we show two new messages in the 'div' element with an id of 'div13' the first time the mouse is clicked on this element. One before event.stopPropagation has been called and one after.


$(function(){
  $('#div13').one('click', function(event) {
     $('#div13').append('Has event.isPropagationStopped() been called on this event object? ' 
                      + event.isPropagationStopped() + '<br/>');
     event.stopPropagation();
     $('#div13').append('Has event.isPropagationStopped() been called on this event object? ' 
                      + event.isPropagationStopped() + '<br/>');
  });
});
