Something like this, added to event.fix:

{{{

var targ;

if (event.target) {

targ = event.target;

}

else if( event.srcElement ) {

targ = event.srcElement;

}

if (targ.nodeType == 3) { // defeat Safari bug

targ = targ.parentNode;

}

event.target = targ;

Try again, handling target element:

if(event.srcElement) {
 event.target = event.srcElement;
} else if(e.target.nodeType == 3) {
 event.target = event.target.parentNode;
}

target etc. are read-only (http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/ecma-script-binding.html), therefore it might be a good idea to create a new object and copy properties and methods from the original object.

Fixed in svn.

Target property is now fixed for both IE and Safari.

I close this. Please reopen the ticket if you find something of the event object that should be handled by jQuery, too.
