Most typically, content that does this sort of thing:
<script>
function something() {
alert(event.target);
}
</script>
<div onclick="something()">Click me</div>
but also content that does this:
<svg><rect onclick="alert(event.target);"></rect></svg>
A brief look at stackoverflow will show that this is something authors
run into a lot. And that's just the ones that are bothering to test in
multiple browsers.
If you want specific site examples www.ocn.ne.jp (on "mobile" only,
natch, thanks to only testing in WebKit) is the most recent one I came
across.
