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.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

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.

Specifications
