- <p>When the browser triggers an event or other JavaScript calls jQuery's <code>.trigger()</code> method, jQuery passes the handler an <a href="/event-object/"><code>event object</code></a> it can use to analyze and change the status of the event. This object is a <em>normalized subset</em> of data provided by the browser; the browser's unmodified native event object is available in <code>event.originalEvent</code>. For example, <a href="/event.type/"><code>event.type</code></a> contains the event name (e.g., "resize") and <a href="/event.target/"><code>event.target</code></a> indicates the deepest (innermost) element where the event occurred.</p>
