...
This function cancels an event and prevents it from bubbling up.
Parameters:
- event – reference to the event to cancel
Example:
In this example, we prevent the onclick event if other fields on the screen are not validated properly.
Note: We assume that validated() is a custom-built function that is available for use. We also assume that validated() returns true or false to indicate the validity of certain fields on the screen. The following can be used on the onkeydown event to restrict which keys can be pressed.
