Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Object	getBubbles()	The bubbles read-only property of the Event interface indicates whether the event bubbles up through the DOM or not.
Boolean	getCancelable()	The cancelable read-only property of the Event interface indicates whether the event can be canceled, and therefore prevented as if the event never happened.

List<EventTarget>	getComposedPath()	The composedPath() method of the Event interface returns the event’s path which is an array of the objects on which listeners will be invoked.
EventTarget	getCurrentTarget()	The currentTarget read-only property of the Event interface identifies the current target for the event, as the event traverses the DOM.
Boolean	getDefaultPrevented()	The defaultPrevented read-only property of the Event interface returns a Boolean indicating whether or not the call to Event.preventDefault() canceled the event.
short	getEventPhase()	The eventPhase read-only property of the Event interface indicates which phase of the event flow is currently being evaluated.

void	getStopImmediatePropagation()	The stopImmediatePropagation() method of the Event interface prevents other listeners of the same event from being called.
void	getStopPropagation()	The stopPropagation() method of the Event interface prevents further propagation of the current event in the capturing and bubbling phases.

double	getTimeStamp()	The timeStamp read-only property of the Event interface returns the time (in milliseconds) at which the event was created.
Boolean	getTrusted()	The isTrusted read-only property of the Event interface is a Boolean that is true when the event was generated by a user action, and false when the event was created or modified by a script or dispatched via EventTarget.dispatchEvent().
Object	getType()	The type read-only property of the Event interface returns a string containing the event's type.
void	initEvent(String type)	The Event.initEvent() method is used to initialize the value of an event created using Document.createEvent().
void	initEvent(String type, Boolean bubbles)	The Event.initEvent() method is used to initialize the value of an event created using Document.createEvent().
void	initEvent(String type, Boolean bubbles, boolean cancelable)	The Event.initEvent() method is used to initialize the value of an event created using Document.createEvent().
void	preventDefault()	The Event interface's preventDefault() method tells the user agent that if the event does not get explicitly handled, its default action should not be taken as it normally would be.

Method Details

getBubbles

Object getBubbles()

The bubbles read-only property of the Event interface indicates whether the event bubbles up through the DOM or not.

See Also:

• Event.bubbles - MDN
• Event.bubbles - DOM
• Event.bubbles - Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification

getCancelable

Boolean getCancelable()

The cancelable read-only property of the Event interface indicates whether the event can be canceled, and therefore prevented as if the event never happened.

See Also:

• Event.cancelable - MDN
• Event.cancelable - DOM
• Event.cancelable - Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification

getComposed

Boolean getComposed()

The read-only composed property of the Event interface returns a Boolean which indicates whether or not the event will propagate across the shadow DOM boundary into the standard DOM.

See Also:

• Event.composed - MDN
• composed - DOM

getCurrentTarget

EventTarget getCurrentTarget()

The currentTarget read-only property of the Event interface identifies the current target for the event, as the event traverses the DOM. It always refers to the element to which the event handler has been attached, as opposed to Event.target, which identifies the element on which the event occurred and which may be its descendant.

See Also:

• Event.currentTarget - MDN
• Event.currentTarget - DOM
• Event.currentTarget - DOM4
• current event target - Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Events Specification
• Event.currentTarget - Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification

getDefaultPrevented

Boolean getDefaultPrevented()

The defaultPrevented read-only property of the Event interface returns a Boolean indicating whether or not the call to Event.preventDefault() canceled the event.

See Also:

• Event.defaultPrevented - MDN
• Event.defaultPrevented() - DOM

getReturnValue

Boolean getReturnValue()

getEventPhase

short getEventPhase()

The eventPhase read-only property of the Event interface indicates which phase of the event flow is currently being evaluated.

See Also:

• Event.eventPhase - MDN
• Event.eventPhase - DOM
• Event.eventPhase - DOM4
• Event.eventPhase - Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification

getTrusted

Boolean getTrusted()

The isTrusted read-only property of the Event interface is a Boolean that is true when the event was generated by a user action, and false when the event was created or modified by a script or dispatched via EventTarget.dispatchEvent().

See Also:

• Event.isTrusted - MDN

getSrcElement

EventTarget getSrcElement()

Initially implemented in Internet Explorer, Event.srcElement is a now-standard alias (defined in the DOM Standard but flagged as "historical") for the Event.target property. It's supported in all major browser engines, but only for compatibility reasons. Use Event.target instead.

See Also:

• Event.srcElement - MDN
• Event.srcElement - DOM

getTarget

EventTarget getTarget()

The target property of the Event interface is a reference to the object onto which the event was dispatched. It is different from Event.currentTarget when the event handler is called during the bubbling or capturing phase of the event.

See Also:

• Event.target - MDN
• Event.target - DOM
• Event.target - DOM4
• Event.target - Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification

getTimeStamp

double getTimeStamp()

The timeStamp read-only property of the Event interface returns the time (in milliseconds) at which the event was created.

See Also:

• Event.timeStamp - MDN
• Event.timeStamp - DOM

getType

Object getType()

The type read-only property of the Event interface returns a string containing the event's type. It is set when the event is constructed and is the name commonly used to refer to the specific event, such as click, load, or error.

See Also:

• Event.type - MDN
• Event.type - DOM
• Event.type - Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification

getComposedPath

List<EventTarget> getComposedPath()

The composedPath() method of the Event interface returns the event’s path which is an array of the objects on which listeners will be invoked. This does not include nodes in shadow trees if the shadow root was created with its ShadowRoot.mode closed.

See Also:

• Event.composedPath - MDN
• composedPath() - DOM

initEvent

void initEvent(String type,
 Boolean bubbles,
 boolean cancelable)

The Event.initEvent() method is used to initialize the value of an event created using Document.createEvent().

See Also:

• Event.initEvent - MDN
• Event.initEvent() - DOM
• Event.initEvent() - Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification

initEvent

void initEvent(String type,
 Boolean bubbles)

The Event.initEvent() method is used to initialize the value of an event created using Document.createEvent().

See Also:

• Event.initEvent - MDN
• Event.initEvent() - DOM
• Event.initEvent() - Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification

initEvent

void initEvent(String type)

The Event.initEvent() method is used to initialize the value of an event created using Document.createEvent().

See Also:

• Event.initEvent - MDN
• Event.initEvent() - DOM
• Event.initEvent() - Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification

preventDefault

void preventDefault()

The Event interface's preventDefault() method tells the user agent that if the event does not get explicitly handled, its default action should not be taken as it normally would be.

See Also:

• Event.preventDefault - MDN
• Event.preventDefault() - DOM
• Event.preventDefault() - Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification

getStopImmediatePropagation

void getStopImmediatePropagation()

The stopImmediatePropagation() method of the Event interface prevents other listeners of the same event from being called.

See Also:

• Event.stopImmediatePropagation - MDN
• Event.stopImmediatePropagation() - DOM

getStopPropagation

void getStopPropagation()

The stopPropagation() method of the Event interface prevents further propagation of the current event in the capturing and bubbling phases. It does not, however, prevent any default behaviors from occurring; for instance, clicks on links are still processed. If you want to stop those behaviors, see the preventDefault() method.

• Event.stopPropagation() - DOM
• Event.stopPropagation() - DOM4
