jquery: stopPropagation vs stopImmediatePropagation

stopPropagation will prevent any parent handlers from being executed whilestopImmediatePropagation will do the same but also prevent 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");
});
