Resolves the object specifier, creating an array of object references.

→ void

Cancels the default behavior of the event on its target.

→ void

Stops propagation of the event beyond the current target.

→ String

Generates a string which, if executed, will return the MutationEvent.

→ String

Retrieves the object specifier.

Object of 1

Properties elsewhere that hold a MutationEvent.

MutationEvent.parent

Return 1

Methods that return a MutationEvent.

MutationEvent.getElements()
