FocusEvent: FocusEvent() constructor

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨July 2015⁩.

options Optional

An object that, in addition of the properties defined in UIEvent(), can have the following properties:

relatedTarget Optional

An EventTarget representing the secondary target of a FocusEvent. It defaults to null.
