Event: originalTarget property
Non-standard: This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.
The read-only originalTarget
property of the Event
interface returns the original target of the event before any retargetings. Unlike Event.explicitOriginalTarget
it can also be native anonymous content.
