Edit Question
Title
Body
I was trying to find the meaning of this keyword inside event handler function in the DOM level 3 event spec. As per my experiment this refers to the event.currentTarget object. Is this behavior mentioned somewhere in the standard? As per "JavaScript The Definitive Guide" book this refers to the event target which seems to wrong. event.currentTarget seems more logical as event handlers are invoked as the method of the HTML element object. Can someone please clarify? In case of bubbling I see "this" changes and means the event.currentTarget.
