ISSUE-118 (dispatchEvent links): Consider allowing dispatchEvent for generic event duplication for links [DOM3 Events] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/issues/118 Raised by: Doug Schepers On product: DOM3 Events Simon Pieters wrote in <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2010AprJun/0041.html> : [[ Is it defined what should happen in the following case? <div onclick="document.links[0].dispatchEvent(event)">click me</div> <a href="http://example.org/">test</a> It seems Firefox and Opera throw an exception, while WebKit allows the event to be dispatched. I think it seems like a neat thing to be able to do, for making table rows or <canvas> clickable. (However the event shouldn't be a 'trusted' event in that case, of course.) To make it work today you'd have to create a new event and copy over all properties, which is annoying. ]]
