It still doesn't work. I think part of the problem is because the
children of main are added after I create the event listener.
Second solution is to check in the event listener if the target is a
child of main and if so, return. I know how to get the children of
main , but how to I check the current tartget is one of them ?

to do a DOM inspector. But yes you are right, maybe I should only
start from body !
Thanks
