event.target returns a native dom element. You can then wrap that element
with $() to use all of jQuery's methods.
var element = event.target;
$(element).attr('id'); // returns the id of the element
element.getAttribute('id'); // also returns the id in native javascript, but
does not work in IE (of course...)
I hope this helps! :)
