Edit This Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body onclick="myFunction(event)">

<p>Click on a paragraph. An alert box will alert the element that triggered the event.</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> The target property returns the element that triggered the event, and not necessarily the eventlistener's element.</p>

<script>
function myFunction(event) { 
    alert(event.target.nodeName);
}
</script>

</body>
</html>
