conversion of event.srcElement using event.target in jquery

I have question about cross-browser compatibility.

I want to use the event.target instead of event.srcElement in the following code to make it work for firefox.

I have used target = event.target || event.srcElement. It is not working. Any help will be appreciated.

function jumptoPopupMenuItem(theMenuID) 
{                
  if (event.srcElement.className == "RightClickMenuItems") 
  {
    if (event.srcElement.getAttribute("url") != null)
    {        
      var strParameters = "";                                    
      if (theMenuID == "mnuAppointmentMenu")
      {
        strParameters = "AppointmentNumber=" + m_strAppointmentTypeYearNumber;
      }
      else if (theMenuID == "mnuAvailableHourMenu")
      {
        strParameters = "PreFillLanguageID=" + m_nLanguageID;
        strParameters = strParameters + "&PreFillInterpreterID=" + m_nInterpreterID;
        strParameters = strParameters + "&PreFillDateOfService=" + m_dtDateOfService;
      }
      if (event.srcElement.getAttribute("target") != null)
      {
        var PopupWindow = window.open(
            event.srcElement.url + strParameters, 
            event.srcElement.getAttribute("target"));
        PopupWindow.focus();
      }
      else
      {
        window.location = event.srcElement.url;
      }
    }
    hidePopupMenu(theMenuID);
  }
}

if you're using jquery, just use var $target = $(e.target); -- it'll do the right thing for the browsers.
