This example illustrates using the Document.createTouch() method to create Touch objects.
In following code snippet, two Touch objects are created for the target element.
const target = document.getElementById("target");
const touch1 = document.createTouch(window, target, 1, 15, 20, 35, 40);
const touch2 = document.createTouch(window, target, 2, 25, 30, 45, 50);
This feature is not part of any current specification. It is no longer on track to become a standard.
