My html has nest table, when click anywhere inside the table I like to get the top level table(table1)

code: $(document).on('click', function(event) {

var target = event.target;

var test = $(target).closest('table[class=table1]');

but it find nothing. if I change to $(target).closest('table[onclick=myclick]'), it works. Can someone tell me why?

<table class="table1" onclick="myclick">

<table...><tr><td>click happen here</td><tr/>.......

A <table> can not be the direct child of another <table>.

onclick="myclick" would not work.

the proper syntax is
