Description

When subscribing to special Cordova events like 'backbutton', 'target' and 'currentTarget' properties of fired event objects are null.

        document.addEventListener("backbutton", function(e){
            console.log("BACK: " + e.type + " event on " + e.currentTarget + "(" + e.target + ")");
        });

produces result:

06-13 12:35:22.841: I/Web Console(14539): BACK: backbutton event on null(null) at file:///android_asset/www/index.html:71

I guess it's not a major problem for everyone but my own library depends on currentTarget property and it may pop somwhere else.
