public interface DocumentEvent
DocumentEvent interface provides a mechanism by which the
 user can create an Event of a type supported by the implementation. It is
 expected that the DocumentEvent interface will be
 implemented on the same object which implements the Document
 interface in an implementation which supports the Event model.
 See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification.

Event createEvent(String eventType) throws DOMException
eventType - The eventType parameter specifies the
   type of Event interface to be created. If the
   Event interface specified is supported by the
   implementation this method will return a new Event of
   the interface type requested. If the Event is to be
   dispatched via the dispatchEvent method the
   appropriate event init method must be called after creation in
   order to initialize the Event's values. As an example,
   a user wishing to synthesize some kind of UIEvent
   would call createEvent with the parameter "UIEvents".
   The initUIEvent method could then be called on the
   newly created UIEvent to set the specific type of
   UIEvent to be dispatched and set its context information.The
   createEvent method is used in creating
   Events when it is either inconvenient or unnecessary
   for the user to create an Event themselves. In cases
   where the implementation provided Event is
   insufficient, users may supply their own Event
   implementations for use with the dispatchEvent method.EventDOMException - NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the implementation does not support the
   type of Event interface requested Submit a bug or feature
