initEvent method

void initEvent(
  1. String type, [
  2. bool bubbles,
  3. bool cancelable
])

The Event.initEvent() method is used to initialize the value of an event created using Document.createEvent.

Events initialized in this way must have been created with the Document.createEvent method. This method must be called to set the event before it is dispatched, using EventTarget.dispatchEvent. Once dispatched, it doesn't do anything anymore.

Note: Do not use this method anymore as it is deprecated. Instead use specific event constructors, like Event.Event. The page on Creating and triggering events gives more information about the way to use these.

Implementation

external void initEvent(
  String type, [
  bool bubbles,
  bool cancelable,
]);
