</p>
<p> The Event interface is used to provide contextual information about an event
to the handler processing the event. An object which implements the Event
interface is generally passed as the first parameter to an event handler.
More specific context information is passed to event handlers by deriving
additional interfaces from Event which contain information directly relating
to the type of event they accompany. These derived interfaces are also
implemented by the object passed to the event listener.

<br></td><td align="right"><h3><strong>timeStamp</strong></h3></td></tr></table><p> <small>[const]</small></p><p>
Used to specify the time (in milliseconds relative to the epoch) at
which the event was created. Due to the fact that some systems may not
provide this information the value of timeStamp may be not available for
all events. When not available, a value of 0 will be returned. Examples
of epoch time are the time of the system start or 0:0:0 UTC 1st January 1970.
</p>
<p> </p>
<A NAME="stopPropagation"></A><A NAME="ref16"></A><table width="100%"><tr bgcolor="#eeeeee"><td>void <strong>stopPropagation</strong> ()
<br></td><td align="right"><h3><strong>stopPropagation</strong></h3></td></tr></table><p></p><p>
The stopPropagation method is used prevent further propagation of an
event during event flow. If this method is called by any EventListener
the event will cease propagating through the tree. The event will
complete dispatch to all listeners on the current EventTarget before
event flow stops. This method may be used during any stage of event flow.
</p>
<p> </p>
<A NAME="preventDefault"></A><A NAME="ref17"></A><table width="100%"><tr bgcolor="#eeeeee"><td>void <strong>preventDefault</strong> ()
<br></td><td align="right"><h3><strong>preventDefault</strong></h3></td></tr></table><p></p><p>
If an event is cancelable, the preventDefault method is used to signify
that the event is to be canceled, meaning any default action normally
taken by the implementation as a result of the event will not occur. If,
during any stage of event flow, the preventDefault method is called the
event is canceled. Any default action associated with the event will not
occur. Calling this method for a non-cancelable event has no effect.
Once preventDefault has been called it will remain in effect throughout
the remainder of the event's propagation. This method may be used during
any stage of event flow.
</p>
<p> </p>
<A NAME="initEvent"></A><A NAME="ref18"></A><table width="100%"><tr bgcolor="#eeeeee"><td>void <strong>initEvent</strong> (const DOMString &eventTypeArg, bool canBubbleArg, bool cancelableArg)
<br></td><td align="right"><h3><strong>initEvent</strong></h3></td></tr></table><p></p><p>
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.
</p>
<p></p>
<p> 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.
