Description Brandon Slade 2011-12-23 23:08:51 UTC 
In the latest editor's draft (4 Sep. 2011) which can be found at http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/DOM-Level-3-Events/html/DOM3-Events.html there is an error in the definition for the MouseWheel.initWheelEvent(...) method. http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/DOM-Level-3-Events/html/DOM3-Events.html#events-event-type-initWheelEvent

In it is a parameter called modifiersListArg of type DOMString. The specification tells you to "Refer to the MouseEvent.initMouseEvent() method for a description of this parameter." Following the link to look at initMouseEvent shows that MouseEvent.initMouseEvent does not accept this parameter - in fact, it does not accept any DOMString parameter!

I think that modifiersListArg is an error with the specification. If not, please correct me and tell me what it is for and how to deal with it.

Thanks,
Brandon

Comment 2 Travis Leithead [MSFT] 2012-03-10 01:11:20 UTC 
I've fixed this the easy way by copying the other modifierListArgs parameter (expounding on it a bit) and putting it in the WheelEvent.initWheelEvent's parameter list.

Please see:

Brandon, Dominic (duped bug) can you please review and let me know if you believe this issue is fixed?
