<a onClick={handlePageClick}>
        ← <span classname{'example'}>Previous</span>
 </a>

When a user clicks ←, the event.target is <a>. When a user clicks on the nested <span>, "Previous", the event.target is <span>. How can I have my user click on Previous, but pass the element it is nested in (<a>)?

    Use [`Event.currentTarget`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Event/currentTarget) instead. The current target is the element that has the event handler attached to. – Ori Drori Jan 22 '20 at 20:49
