16,619 PointsTeachers recommended source outdated? Using the on() Method in jQuery, event property srcElement
The teachers notes for this video recommends http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/javascript/events-and-javascript-part-3-the-event-object.html which was (evidently) written about 5 years ago... The article starts off describing the srcElement event property which I can't find anywhere in Dev Tools. Has that property been replaced/superseded?

230,688 PointsThat property has been superseded by the target property.
Here's a quote directly from the MDN Event page:
Event.srcElement
  A non-standard alias (from old versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer) for Event.target.
You might want to report this as a bug to Support.
