The preventDefault() method of the Event interface tells the user agent that the event is being explicitly handled, so its default action, such as page scrolling, link navigation, or pasting text, should not be taken.
The stopPropagation() method of the Event interface prevents further propagation of the current event in the capturing and bubbling phases.
The addEventListener() method of the EventTarget interface sets up a function that will be called whenever the specified event is delivered to the target.
The dispatchEvent() method of the EventTarget sends an Event to the object, (synchronously) invoking the affected event listeners in the appropriate order.
The removeEventListener() method of the EventTarget interface removes an event listener previously registered with EventTarget.addEventListener() from the target.
The time an event occurred at its source, which may differ from when it reaches a processor.
