Inside the event handler, the "this"-keyword refers to the element that
handles the event, while the "target" property of the event object
refers to the element that triggered the event.
$("p").click(function(event) {
alert(this) // <- always refers to a paragraph
alert(event.target) // <- refers to a paragraph or any child of it
});
You can use the target property to implement a event delegation (instead
of event handling). A plugin that uses that:

Of course it has its drawbacks, as discovered recently, see the comments
at the end of that page.
