How to implement guide with nested html elements triggering unwanted click events in react 17.0
I'm working on a personal project and I'm confused about Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy..... Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I'm experiencing a question with nested HTML elements in my React application, specifically with handling click events. I have a button inside a div, and when I click the button, it also triggers the click event for the parent div, which causes some unexpected behavior in my state management. Here’s a simplified version of my code: ```jsx function App() { const [count, setCount] = React.useState(0); const handleDivClick = () => { setCount(count + 1); console.log('Div clicked, count:', count); }; const handleButtonClick = (e) => { e.stopPropagation(); // Attempting to stop the event from bubbling up setCount(count + 10); console.log('Button clicked, count:', count); }; return ( <div onClick={handleDivClick}> <button onClick={handleButtonClick}>Increase by 10</button> <p>Current count: {count}</p> </div> ); } ``` When I click the button, I expect only the button's click handler to execute, adding 10 to the count. However, I see that hitting the button also triggers the click event for the parent div, adding 1 to the count as well. The output in the console shows that both event handlers are executed: ``` Button clicked, count: 0 Div clicked, count: 1 ``` I’ve tried using `e.stopPropagation()`, but it seems like the event still bubbles up in certain scenarios. I've also made sure that I’m not using `setState` in a way that would cause it to reference the stale closure of `count`. I’m using React version 17.0 with no other complex setup around this. Am I missing something here, or is there a better way to handle nested click events like this? Any ideas what could be causing this? For context: I'm using Javascript on macOS. Am I missing something obvious? This is part of a larger service I'm building. Thanks for taking the time to read this! My development environment is Windows 11. Any ideas how to fix this?
