[thelist] Trapping JS events

I have a div that contains a form element. Both have onMouseDown
handlers. When I click on the form element, both handlers get fired,
first the form element handler, then the containing DIV handler.
Here is a code snippet :
<div id="myContainer" onmousedown="alert('Second Event')">
<input type="text" value="" id="myFormField"
onmousedown="alert('First Event');>
</div>
When I click on the input box, I get an alert for First Event, then one
for Second Event. Is there a way I can have the form element event
handler trap the mouse click so that the containing DIV event handler
doesn't get called?
Thanks,
Chris Evans
