stopPropagation vs cancelBubble: Key Differences

event.cancelBubble is a method specific to IE that prevents event bubbling, meaning it stops the event from propagating to parent elements. On the other hand, event.stopPropagation() is a W3C standard method that also prevents event bubbling.

The difference is that event.cancelBubble can only be used in IE browsers, while event.stopPropagation() is a method that adheres to W3C standards and can be used in all modern browsers. Additionally, event.stopPropagation() can also take a boolean parameter to control whether the event can be captured.
