I want to pass on an element, identify what kind of element it is. I'm doing the following example:
window.onmouseover = function(){ mouseOver(e)};
function mouseOver(e) {
if (e.nodeName === "DIV"){
alert("it's a div");
}
}
example: link
You have to use e.target and then nodeName . e is the event object that has a target property where it points to the DOM element, which in turn has a property with the name of that type of HTML node.
So it should be if (e.target.nodeName === "DIV"){
Do not forget to always pass the object e (event) to this string of functions you have, or use the function directly ( so ).
