Internet Explorer 4. 0x introduces a new way to handle events--event bubbling... For example, if a button is clicked, the click event is directed to the button. The event invokes an event handler if one is defined for that object. If no event handler is defined to take care of the event, or if the event handler does not return false(to cancel the event), the event proceeds to the parent object for handling. The event bubbles up the object hierarchy until it is handled, or until it reaches the topmost level, the document object. 1, record 4, English, - event%20bubbling
