stopPropagation vs. stopImmediatePropagation

stopPropagation will prevent any parent handlers from being executed stopImmediatePropagation will prevent any parent handlers and also any other handlers from executing

Quick example from the jquery documentation:

$("p").click(function(event) {
  event.stopImmediatePropagation();
});

$("p").click(function(event) {
  // This function won't be executed
  $(this).css("background-color", "#f00");
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<p>example</p>

Note that the order of the event binding is important here!
