UIEvent: UIEvent() constructor
The UIEvent() constructor creates a new UIEvent object.
Note:
If you construct a synthetic event using this constructor, that event will not be trusted, for security reasons.
Only browser-generated UIEvent objects are trusted and only trusted events trigger default actions.
