public interface DocumentEvent
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.

Event createEvent(String eventType) throws DOMException
eventType
- The eventType
parameter specifies the type of Event
interface to be created. If the Event
interface specified is supported by the implementation this method will return a new Event
of the interface type requested. If the Event
is to be dispatched via the dispatchEvent
method 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 UIEvent
would call createEvent
with the parameter "UIEvents". The initUIEvent
method could then be called on the newly created UIEvent
to set the specific type of UIEvent to be dispatched and set its context information.The createEvent
method is used in creating Event
s when it is either inconvenient or unnecessary for the user to create an Event
themselves. In cases where the implementation provided Event
is insufficient, users may supply their own Event
implementations for use with the dispatchEvent
method.Event
DOMException
- NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the implementation does not support the type of Event
interface requested
