ISSUE-8: initTouchEvent function

initTouchEvent function

State:

CLOSED

Product:

Touch Events v1 spec

Raised by:

Matt Brubeck

Opened on:

2011-03-24

Description:

The Touch Events spec lacks a method for creating touch events. It should specify document.createEvent("TouchEvent"), and an "initTouchEvent" function.

We will also need ways to create and initialize TouchList and TouchPoint objects to attach to the TouchEvent.

WebKit currently implements document.createEvent("TouchEvent"), event.initTouchEvent, document.createTouchList, and document.createTouch.
