IE js error with event.target !==

Question

I have the following js code:

if ( event.target !== self.element[ 0 ]){
  ...
 } 

In IE browser I get this error: Object doesn't support this property or method

when I write my code :

if ( event.target == self.element[ 0 ]){
  ...
 } 

I don't get a js problem

what is not supported by IE? the !==?!!

Answer 1

Well there's no "target" property in IE; it's event.srcElement . So try

if ((event.target || event.srcElement) !== self.element[0])
