Standards information

Remarks

Events that the IEventTarget::dispatchEvent method dispatches are subject to the same capturing and bubbling behavior as events that the browser dispatches.

You cannot cancel some events. For more information, see the documentation for the event.

In general, events can only be dispatched from elements that are part of the document object model, per the HTML5 specification.

var a = document.createElement('a');
var evt = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
evt.initEvent("click", true, true);
a.dispatchEvent(evt);

For interoperability purposes, however, Internet Explorer for Windows Phone 8.1 Update allows events to be triggered by elements that are not part of the document object model. For best results, dynamically created elements should be added to the document object model.
