Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes.

The initMutationEvent()
method of the MutationEvent
interface initializes the value of a mutation event once it's been created (normally using the Document.createEvent()
method).
This method must be called to set the event before it is dispatched, using EventTarget.dispatchEvent()
.
Note: In general, you won't create these events yourself; they are created by the browser.
