Topic	Description
addEventListener	Registers an event handler for the specified event type.

cancelBubble	Gets or sets a value that indicates whether an event should be stopped from propagating up from the current target.
createEvent	Creates a DOM event of the specified type.
dispatchEvent	Sends an event to the current element.
fireEvent	Fires a specified event on the object.
getCurrentPoint	Retrieves a PointerPoint object that provides basic info on the pointer associated with the event.
getIntermediatePoints	Retrieves a collection of PointerPoint objects that represent the pointer history from the last pointer event up to and including the current pointer event. Each PointerPoint in the collection provides basic info on the pointer associated with the event.
getModifierState	Queries the state of the specified modifier key.
initAnimationEvent	Initializes the values of an animation event.
initCloseEvent	Initializes the close event.
initCompositionEvent	Initializes a new text composition event that the createEvent method created.
initCustomEvent	Initializes a new custom event that the createEvent method created.
initDragEvent	Initializes a new drag event.
initErrorEvent	Creates an Error Event that can be dispatched from a JavaScript client.
initEvent	Initializes a new generic event that the createEvent method created.
initFocusEvent	Initializes a new focus event that the createEvent method created.
initGestureEvent	Initializes a newly-created gesture event.
initKeyboardEvent	Initializes a new keyboard event that the createEvent method created.
initMessageEvent	Initializes a new cross-document message (XDM) event that the createEvent method created.
initMouseEvent	Initializes a new mouse event that the createEvent method created.
initMouseWheelEvent	Initializes a new mouse wheel event that the createEvent method created. For the standards based method, see initWheelEvent.
initMSManipulationEvent	Used to create a manipulation event that can be called from JavaScript.
initMutationEvent	Initializes a new DOM mutation (modification) event that the createEvent method created.
initPointerEvent	Used to create an MSPointerEvent from JavaScript.
initPopStateEvent	Initializes the properties of a PopStateEvent.
initProgressEvent	Initializes the value of a ProgressEvent object.
initTextEvent	Initializes a new text event that the createEvent method created.
initTransitionEvent	Used to initialize the value of a TransitionEvent.
initUIEvent	Initializes a new user interface event that the createEvent method created.
initWheelEvent	Initializes a new mouse wheel event that the createEvent method created.
msReleasePointerCapture	Releases a pointer captured by an element.
msSetPointerCapture	Assigns the current pointer (touch, pen, or mouse) and MSPointerEvents to a specific element.
preventDefault	Cancels the default action of an event.
removeEventListener	Removes an event handler that the addEventListener method registered.
