Arguments
The many arguments to this method specify the initial values of the properties of this MouseEvent object, including the properties inherited from the Event and UIEvent interfaces. The name of each argument clearly indicates the property for which it specifies the value, so they are not listed individually here.
Description
This method initializes the various properties of a newly created
MouseEvent object. It may be called only on a MouseEvent object
created with Document.createEvent( )
and only
before that MouseEvent is passed to
EventTarget.dispatchEvent( )
.
