initEvent (method )

Owning interface and usage:  
Event.initEvent(eventTypeArg, canBubbleArg, cancelableArg)

Member of these other interfaces:  
MouseEvent, MutationEvent, UIEvent

Description:  
The initEvent() method is used to initialize the value of an Event created through the DocumentEvent interface. This method may only be called before the Event has been dispatched via the dispatchEvent() method, though it may be called multiple times during that phase if necessary. If called multiple times the final invocation takes precedence. If called from a subclass of Event interface only the values specified in the initEvent() method are modified, all other attributes are left unchanged.

Parameters:  
DOMString eventTypeArg  -  Specifies the event type. This type may be any event type currently defined in this specification or a new event type. The string must be an [XML name] . Any new event type must not begin with any upper, lower, or mixed case version of the string "DOM". This prefix is reserved for future DOM event sets. It is also strongly recommended that third parties adding their own events use their own prefix to avoid confusion and lessen the probability of conflicts with other new events.
Boolean canBubbleArg  -  Specifies whether or not the event can bubble.
Boolean cancelableArg  -  Specifies whether or not the event's default action can be prevented.

Returns:  
nothing

Exceptions:  
none
