I am learing event.target and event.currentTarget. I think i am clear with the difference between the two. But stuck in a situation where event.currentTarget value turns out to be null.

Following are the HTML and JS code snippets:

HTML code

<form id="form">

   This is a form

</form>

JavaScript Code

 form.addEventListener('click', func);



 function func(event) {

    console.log(event.target.tagName);  //line1

    console.log(event.currentTarget.tagName); //line2



    setTimeout(()=> {

       console.log(event.target.tagName);  //line3

       console.log(event.currentTarget.tagName); //line4

    }, 0)  ;

 }

My doubt is that in line1 and line3 I got the value of event.target the same. But there is a difference in the value of event.currentTarget in line2 and line4.

The output in line3 is 'form', but in line4 it is:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'tagName' of null.

That means currentTarget is null in line4.

Can you explain why value of currentTarget is null in line4 ?
