    In event handling in JavaScript, event.currentTarget refers to the element that the event handler is attached to, while event.target refers to the actual element that triggered the event.

    For example, if you have a button inside a div and you attach a click event handler to the div, event.currentTarget would refer to the div, while event.target would refer to the button.
