Identifies the current target for the event, as the event traverses the DOM.
Identifies the current target for the event, as the event traverses the DOM. It always refers to the element the event handler has been attached to as opposed to event.target which identifies the element on which the event occurred.
MDN
Returns a boolean indicating whether or not event.preventDefault() was called on the event.
Returns a boolean indicating whether or not event.preventDefault() was called on the event.

For this particular event, no other listener will be called.
For this particular event, no other listener will be called. Neither those attached on the same element, nor those attached on elements which will be traversed later (in capture phase, for instance)

This property of event objects is the object the event was dispatched on.
This property of event objects is the object the event was dispatched on. It is different than event.currentTarget when the event handler is called in bubbling or capturing phase of the event.
MDN
Returns the time (in milliseconds since the epoch) at which the event was created.

Event handlers may be attached to various objects including DOM elements, document, the window object, etc. When an event occurs, an event object is created and passed sequentially to the event listeners.
The DOM Event interface is accessible from within the handler function, via the event object passed as the first argument. The following simple example shows how an event object is passed to the event handler function, and can be used from within one such function.
