It references the innerText property of the element that initiated a
particular event. srcElement is, I believe, IE-proprietary, but others
correct me if I'm wrong. You could, for instance, write a script like this:
<script type="text/javascript" for="document" event="onclick()">
var el ;
el = window.event.srcElement ;
if ("TD" == el.tagName)
{
alert(el.innerText) ; // lame, I know; but you get the idea.
}
</script>
