Field Summary
`boolean` `bubbles`
`boolean` `cancelable`
`org.w3c.dom.events.EventTarget` `currentTarget`
`short` `eventPhase`
`boolean` `initialized`
`boolean` `preventDefault`
`boolean` `stopPropagation`
`org.w3c.dom.events.EventTarget` `target`
`protected long` `timeStamp`
`java.lang.String` `type`

Fields inherited from interface org.w3c.dom.events.Event
`AT_TARGET, BUBBLING_PHASE, CAPTURING_PHASE`

Constructor Summary
`EventImpl()`

Method Summary
`boolean` `getBubbles()`
`boolean` `getCancelable()`
`org.w3c.dom.events.EventTarget` `getCurrentTarget()`
`short` `getEventPhase()`
`org.w3c.dom.events.EventTarget` `getTarget()`
`long` `getTimeStamp()`
`java.lang.String` `getType()`
`void` `initEvent(java.lang.String eventTypeArg, boolean canBubbleArg, boolean cancelableArg)` The DOM doesn't deal with constructors, so instead we have an initializer call to set most of the read-only fields.
`void` `preventDefault()` Prevents any default processing built into the target node from occurring.
`void` `stopPropagation()` Causes exit from in-progress event dispatch before the next currentTarget is selected.

Method Detail

### initEvent

    public void initEvent(java.lang.String eventTypeArg,
                          boolean canBubbleArg,
                          boolean cancelableArg)

  The DOM doesn't deal with constructors, so instead we have an initializer call to set most of the read-only fields. The others are set, and reset, by the event subsystem during dispatch.

  Note that init() -- and the subclass-specific initWhatever() calls -- may be reinvoked. At least one initialization is required; repeated initializations overwrite the event with new values of their parameters.

  Specified by:
    `initEvent` in interface `org.w3c.dom.events.Event`

### getBubbles

    public boolean getBubbles()

  Specified by:
    `getBubbles` in interface `org.w3c.dom.events.Event`
  Returns:
    true iff this Event is of a class and type which supports bubbling. In the generic case, this is True.

### getCancelable

    public boolean getCancelable()

  Specified by:
    `getCancelable` in interface `org.w3c.dom.events.Event`
  Returns:
    true iff this Event is of a class and type which (a) has a Default Behavior in this DOM, and (b)allows cancellation (blocking) of that behavior. In the generic case, this is False.

### getCurrentTarget

    public org.w3c.dom.events.EventTarget getCurrentTarget()

  Specified by:
    `getCurrentTarget` in interface `org.w3c.dom.events.Event`
  Returns:
    the Node (EventTarget) whose EventListeners are currently being processed. During capture and bubble phases, this may not be the target node.

### getEventPhase

    public short getEventPhase()

  Specified by:
    `getEventPhase` in interface `org.w3c.dom.events.Event`
  Returns:
    the current processing phase for this event -- CAPTURING_PHASE, AT_TARGET, BUBBLING_PHASE. (There may be an internal DEFAULT_PHASE as well, but the users won't see it.)

### getTarget

    public org.w3c.dom.events.EventTarget getTarget()

  Specified by:
    `getTarget` in interface `org.w3c.dom.events.Event`
  Returns:
    the EventTarget (Node) to which the event was originally dispatched.

### getType

    public java.lang.String getType()

  Specified by:
    `getType` in interface `org.w3c.dom.events.Event`
  Returns:
    event name as a string

### getTimeStamp

    public long getTimeStamp()

  Specified by:
    `getTimeStamp` in interface `org.w3c.dom.events.Event`

### stopPropagation

    public void stopPropagation()

  Causes exit from in-progress event dispatch before the next currentTarget is selected. Replaces the preventBubble() and preventCapture() methods which were present in early drafts; they may be reintroduced in future levels of the DOM.
  Specified by:
    `stopPropagation` in interface `org.w3c.dom.events.Event`

### preventDefault

    public void preventDefault()

  Prevents any default processing built into the target node from occurring.
  Specified by:
    `preventDefault` in interface `org.w3c.dom.events.Event`
