public interface DocumentEvent
The 
DocumentEvent interface provides a mechanism by which the
 user can create an Event of a type supported by the implementation. It is
 expected that the DocumentEvent interface will be
 implemented on the same object which implements the Document
 interface in an implementation which supports the Event model.
 See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification.

Method Summary

Method Details- 
createEvent- Parameters:
- eventType- The- eventTypeparameter specifies the type of- Eventinterface to be created. If the- Eventinterface specified is supported by the implementation this method will return a new- Eventof the interface type requested. If the- Eventis to be dispatched via the- dispatchEventmethod the appropriate event init method must be called after creation in order to initialize the- Event's values. As an example, a user wishing to synthesize some kind of- UIEventwould call- createEventwith the parameter "UIEvents". The- initUIEventmethod could then be called on the newly created- UIEventto set the specific type of UIEvent to be dispatched and set its context information.The- createEventmethod is used in creating- Events when it is either inconvenient or unnecessary for the user to create an- Eventthemselves. In cases where the implementation provided- Eventis insufficient, users may supply their own- Eventimplementations for use with the- dispatchEventmethod.
- Returns:
- The newly created Event
- Throws:
- DOMException- NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the implementation does not support the type of- Eventinterface requested
