## event.currentTarget Returns: Element

Description: The current DOM element within the event bubbling phase.

- #### version added: 1.3event.currentTarget

This property will typically be equal to the `this` of the function.

If you are using jQuery.proxy or another form of scope manipulation, `this` will be equal to whatever context you have provided, not `event.currentTarget`

## Example:

Alert that currentTarget matches the `this` keyword.
