Question

Is there a method in jQuery similar to retun false; in function that prevents a parent function from running?

I’ve got a system outlined below, that needs to be stopped when a value is incorrect. Along with it, the parent function needs to be stopped.

parent.each(function(){

    child.each(function(){

        if (true) {

            //stuff
        } else {

           return false and cancel parent.each();
        }

    });

    otherChild.each(function(){

        if (true) {

            //stuff
        } else {

           return false and cancel parent.each();
        }
    });
});

parent.each(function(){
    var canceled=false;

    child.each(function(){

        if (true) {

            //stuff
        } else {
           canceled=true;

           return false;
        }

    });

    if(!canceled) otherChild.each(function(){

        if (true) {

            //stuff
        } else {
           canceled=true;
           return false;
        }
    });
    return !canceled;
});
