Re: Re: form submit events

I'm pretty sure one event listener can't block another listener on the
same node and event.  You can only stop the event from bubbling
further up the document tree.

In other words, say you have this:

<div id="div">
  <input type="button" id="button" />
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function divClick(event) {
}

function buttonClick1(event) {
}

function buttonClick2(event) {
}

document.getElementById('div').addEventListener('click', divClick, false);
document.getElementById('button').addEventListener('click',
buttonClick1, false);
document.getElementById('button').addEventListener('click',
buttonClick2, false);
</script>

Then buttonClick1 and buttonClick2 can block divClick from being
called by doing event.stopPropagation() (or the IE equivalent), but
buttonClick1 and buttonClick2 are both guaranteed to run in some
arbitrary order.
