194646 - UIEvent.initUIEvent() method improperly documented

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Documentation Graveyard :: Web Developer, defect)

Description

[leonard]

the initUIEvent() method takes five parameters as per the DOM2 spec
(http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html#Events-UIEvent):

typeArg of type DOMString
    Specifies the event type.
canBubbleArg of type boolean
    Specifies whether or not the event can bubble.
cancelableArg of type boolean
    Specifies whether or not the event's default action can be prevented.
viewArg of type views::AbstractView
    Specifies the Event's AbstractView.
detailArg of type long
    Specifies the Event's detail.

Also, you might want to check out the UIEvent types.  The example in the Gecko
Reference specifies a 'click' type, but according to the same DOM 2 Reference,
the valid types are: DOMFocusIn,DOMFocusOut, and DOMActivate

* Note that trying to use a UIEvent give me a NS_ERROR_DOM_NOT_SUPPORTED error,
so this might be theoretical for now
