Description
The User Interface event module is composed of events listed in HTML 4.0 and additional events which are supported in DOM Level 0 browsers.
A DOM application may use the hasFeature(feature, version) method of the DOMImplementation interface with parameter values "UIEvents" and "2.0" (respectively) to determine whether or not the User Interface event module is supported by the implementation. In order to fully support this module, an implementation must also support the "Events" feature defined in this specification and the "Views" feature defined in the DOM Level 2 Views specification [DOM Level 2 Views].
Note: To create an instance of the UIEvent interface, use the feature string "UIEvents" as the value of the
eventType parameter passed to createEvent(...).
