title: How to get the text/html value from event.target using jQuery
body: <p>I'm using Clipboard.js and am trying to get the text in a <code>&lt;td&gt;</code> node using the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('.clipboard').click(function(evt) {
      clipboard.copy(evt.target.val()).then(
        function(){console.log("success");},
        function(err){console.log("failure", err);}
      );
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Obviously <code>.val()</code> is not a valid method on <code>evt.target</code>. What's the correct way of getting the nodes text value using <code>evt</code> here?</p>
