In computing, Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is an interface specification that enables web servers to execute an external program to process HTTP or HTTPS user requests. Such programs are often written in a scripting language and are commonly referred to as CGI scripts , but they may include compiled programs.
event.stopPropagation(): the event is stopped after all event listeners attached to the current event target in the current event phase are finished; event.stopImmediatePropagation(): the event is stopped immediately and no further event listeners are executed; When an event is stopped it will no longer travel along the event path.
