Direct way to get element that event bubbled up to, within .on() function handler
<p>Using jQuery's <code>.on()</code>:</p>

<pre><code>$('.outer').on('click', '.inner', function(){
    // doing stuff...
});
</code></pre>

<p>Since <code>this</code> refers to the origniting (<code>.inner</code>) element, is there a more direct reference to the parent element that the event bubbled up to, than by using:</p>

<pre><code>$(this).closest('.outer')
</code></pre>

<p>?</p>
