jquery – recognize which span tag triggered javascript function in div

I have a div html element that has a click event set on it inline (not the way I want to do it but legacy code). See here

<div class=\"myDiv\" onclick=\"triggerJavascript();\" id=\"myDiv\">

<span id=\"text1\">Text 1<span>
<span id=\"text2\">Text 2<span>
<span id=\"text3\">Text 3<span>
<span id=\"text4\">Text 4<span>
<span id=\"text5\">Text 5<span>

What I want to do is recognize which span tag the click event originates from test5, then dont carry out the logic in triggerJavascript function, otherwise complete logic in triggerJavascript.

How can I set this up? I am working with jquery.
