As Mozilla states on the TouchEvent page:
The event’s target is the same element that received the touchstart
event corresponding to the touch point, even if the touch point has
moved outside that element.
This is not the same as mousemove and mouseup, where the target really is the DOM element that the mouse is over.
What’s the best way, without using any library, to get the element that my touchmove or touchend event occurs on?
Read the coordinates (
pageXandpageY) from the event object. Then usedocument.elementFromPoint(x, y)to get the top element at that position.
