How to Fire Personal Event in Javascript

Question

I can\'t fire personal events using Javascript in IE. In Firefox work great.

My code is:

var evento; 
if(document.createEventObject)  
{  
   evento         


        

Answer 1

In IE11 document.dispatchEvent still doesn't work, but now attachEvent is missing too, so the other solution is not going to work either. However, I came up with one even uglier. :) It involves replacing the addEventListener method and goes on like this:

var oldEventListener = document.addEventListener;

document.addEventListener = function (event, func, capture) {
    if (event == "MyPreciousCustomEvent") {
        document.MyPreciousCustomEvent = func;
    }

    oldEventListener.call(document, event, func, capture);
};

...

$(function () {
    try {
        document.MyPreciousCustomEvent("MyPreciousCustomEvent", {});
    } catch (e) {}
});

Hope this helps someone.
