How to access Event.target in IE9?

Question

The HTML DOM object model defines an Event object with a target property.

Looking at MSDN, Microsoft documents a target property. They also document srcElem

If you want to use event.target in IE9, you'll need to use addEventListener()-method to assign eventhandler to the element.

document.getElementById('day').addEventListener('click',divClick,false);

function divClick(e){
   alert(e.target);
   divCell=this;
   :
}

In divClick() you can refer day simply using keyword this. Argument e contains a reference to the event-object itself.

BTW, in MSDN you can find maybe more suitable IE-documentation for Web development instead of Windows development.
