ISSUE-129 (event constructors): Revist event constructors [DOM3 Events] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/issues/129
Raised by: Doug Schepers On product: DOM3 Events Simon Pieters <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2010JulSep/0125.html>: [[ An idea for creating events is to support [Constructor] on all event IDLs, which makes the createEvent method unnecessary. Maybe we could even make the arguments to the constructor be called to initFooEvent() directly, so instead of doing var e = document.createEvent('MouseEvents'); e.initMouseEvent('click', ...); foo.dispatchEvent(e); you could do foo.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent('click', ...)) Another thing we could change is to make all but the first arguments to initFooEvent() optional and let them have sensible defaults, so that if all you care about is the event type, you can include just the first argument. If the constructor is called with no arguments, then initFooEvent() would not be called. ]]
