About initStorageEvent and initStorageEventNS

2009-07-13 Thread João Eiras 


Hi.
The interface for StorageEvent defines initStorageEvent() and 
initStorageEventNS(). For these functions to be of any use, there must be a way 
to create new event objects, and that way is using document.createEvent. 
However, there is no reference to document.createEvent in the entire webstorage 
spec.
Should document.createEvent be extended ?

Thanks.

createEvent() takes any interface name that inherits from Event and 
creates an object of that type. See DOM3 Events for details. (Currently 
the text in DOM3 Events is pretty vague, but it looks like that section 
just hasn't been updated yet to take into account RFC2119 terms and so on 
-- the text looks unchanged from when the draft was a note. Doug, can you 
confirm that this is the case?)
