Klaus....
Generally, I agree with you with the following caveat. On PPK's site
(http://www.quirksmode.org/js/events_properties.html) he points out a
problem with safari where events get triggered on text nodes instead
of elements. I am hesitant to do
if (e.target.nodeType == 3) { // defeat Safari bug
e.target = e.target.parentNode;
}
as I don't know whether or not some strange side effects might occur.
I suspect not, but I was being cautious.
