Jadeite adds
extra features to the API including:
variable font sizes,
constructions examples,
placeholders for classes and methods, and auto-generated “See Also” links.
Additionally it
is missing some items found in standard Javadoc documentation, including:

org.w3c.dom.events
interface DocumentEvent
-
Most common way to construct:
-
Element targetElement = …;
DocumentEvent d = (DocumentEvent)targetElement.getOwnerDocument();
Based on 8 examples
public interface DocumentEvent
The 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.
createEvent
public Event createEvent(String eventType)
throws DOMException
-
- Parameters:
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.
- Returns:
- The newly created
Event
- Throws:
DOMException
- NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the implementation does not support the
type of Event
interface requested
