[javascript] Check which element has been clicked with jQuery

Another option can be to utilize the tagName property of the e.target. It doesn't apply exactly here, but let's say I have a class of something that's applied to either a DIV or an A tag, and I want to see if that class was clicked, and determine whether it was the DIV or the A that was clicked. I can do something like:

$('.example-class').click(function(e){
  if ((e.target.tagName.toLowerCase()) == 'a') {
    console.log('You clicked an A element.');
  } else { // DIV, we assume in this example
    console.log('You clicked a DIV element.');
  }
});
