BCD-UI

Class: DetachedEvent

bcdui.widget. DetachedEvent

This class represents a DOM event which can be stored for later use, especially in a timeout function. It encapsulates the event functionality provided by prototype.js, but it is not destroyed when the event has finished. Instead it can be kept to invoke the event handler later.

A use case for this event object is for example a delayed tooltip appearing for example 200 ms after the mouse over event has occurred.
