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

Answer 1

use:

var target = (event.target !== undefined)? event.target.name : event.srcElement.tagName;

then:

if ( target === 'A' || target === '...') {
    ...
}

OR: simple use:

var target = event.srcElement.tagName;

tested on Chrome 35 :)
