Interface CustomEvent

All Superinterfaces:
Event

public interface CustomEvent
extends Event

The CustomEvent interface is the recommended interface for application-specific event types. Unlike the Event interface, it allows applications to provide contextual information about the event type. Application-specific event types should have an associated namespace to avoid clashes with future general-purpose event types.

To create an instance of the CustomEvent interface, use the DocumentEvent.createEvent("CustomEvent") method call.

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Events Specification.
