Interview questions related to event bubbling in Javascript?

1) What is Event bubbling in Javascript. Give Example

Event bubbling is the method of event propogation in which event travels from innermost element to the outermost parent element.

Like if we have below structure

<section onclick="alert('section')">
   <div onclick="alert('div')">
     <p onclick="alert('paragraph')"> 
        This is paragraph
     </p>
   </div>
</section>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

p>div>section
