If you're just trying to dispatch a simple event like the HTML toggle event, this works in Internet Explorer 11 as well as the other browsers:

}
catch (error) {
    toggle_event = document.createEvent("Event");
    let doesnt_bubble = false;
    let isnt_cancelable = false;
    toggle_event.initEvent("toggle", doesnt_bubble, isnt_cancelable);
}
// disclosure_control is a details element.
disclosure_control.dispatchEvent(toggle_event);
