However the spec says that initEvent should be a no-op: "This method has no effect if called after the event has been dispatched." DOM 2 Events also specifies this, albeit in less specific language. <http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html#Events-Event-initEvent> 440153 1 dominicc 2011-07-20 17:54:52 -0700 Per the DOM Core draft, calling initEvent after event dispatch _should_ reinitialize the event: <http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/domcore/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#dom-event-initevent> initEvent should only be prevented while the event is being dispatched. WebKit already does it this way.
