dojo.html.getEventTarget acts differently in Safari

[breischl@…]

In Moz & IE, clicking on a plaintext node sends the click event to the containing element (for instance a <div> or <span>). In Safari the event goes to the text node itself. This causes the dojo.html.getEventTarget() function to give different results in the different browsers.

I have a simple HTML file that displays this behavior, but I can't figure out how to attach it. Please email me if you want it, breischl@… or brianr@…

In order to equalize the results, getEventTarget() should check the nodeType of event.srcElement. If the nodeType == 3, then event.srcElement.parentNode should be returned instead. Example code:

function getEventTargetSafariSafe(evt){
	if(!evt) { evt = window.event || {} };
	if(evt.srcElement) {
		return (evt.srcElement.nodeType == 3 ? evt.srcElement.parentNode : evt.srcElement);
	} else if(evt.target) {
		return evt.target;
	}
	return null;
}
