Question

In Firefox 6 I tried to get the target element on which the event occurred, but it does not show any element and it shows undefined in alert. Tried to debug it using the Firebug tool and found the attribute "target" missing for the event object. Can anyone help me out? I do have the code below:

function getSource(event)
{
    if(!event) 
    { 
        field = window.event.srcElement;
       alert(field);
    }
    else
    {
        field = event.target; 
        alert(field) //Getting undefined in FF6
    }
}

Edited Portion:

document.onkeypress = getSource;
document.onmouseup = getSource;

Any help would be appreciated.

Try the code below

function getSource(e)
{
     if(!e)
        e = window.event;
     field = evt.srcElement || evt.target;
     alert(field);
     return true;
 } 

Hope this helps you.
