Event Bubbling
When a child element is clicked, the event bubbles all the way up the dom. This means that you can capture the child element that was activated through the bubbling up effect from the parent.
You can capture the event by passing the even to the function and capturing the target
var myfun = function(event){
console.log(event.target)
} // the 'event' text could be anything 'e' etc..
To traverse the DOM one parent up you you use
event.target.parentNode
To go up several parent up:
event.target.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode /// etc..
