The below sample shows a click event handler that creates and dispatches either a ‘textinput’ or ‘textInput’ event (depending on the selected options) to textarea element.

function InsertText () {
        try {
            var newtextEvent = document.createEvent('TextEvent');
            var textarea = document.getElementById ("textarea");
            var intputmethod=eval(document.getElementById('cboinputmethod').value);
            if(document.forms.frmTextEvent.chkontextinput.checked){
            
                newtextEvent.initTextEvent ('textinput', true, true, null, "New text", intputmethod, "en-US");
            }
            else if(document.forms.frmTextEvent.chkontextInput.checked){
                newtextEvent.initTextEvent ('textInput', true, true, null, "New text", intputmethod, "en-US");
            }else{
                alert('First choose the textinput or textInput event handler.'); return;
            }
            
            textarea.focus();
            textarea.selectionStart = 0;
            textarea.selectionEnd = 0;

            textarea.dispatchEvent(newtextEvent);
        }
        catch (e) {
            alert ('Your browser does not support this example!\nError :'+e);
        }
    }

The DOMInputMetod is present in the MSIE ‘textinput’ event handler only.

function getDOMInputMethod(iInputMethod){
        switch (iInputMethod){
            case TextEvent.DOM_INPUT_METHOD_UNKNOWN:
                return 'Unknown';
            case TextEvent.DOM_INPUT_METHOD_KEYBOARD:
                return 'Keyboard';
            case TextEvent.DOM_INPUT_METHOD_PASTE:
                return 'Paste';
            case TextEvent.DOM_INPUT_METHOD_DROP:
                return 'Drop';
            case TextEvent.DOM_INPUT_METHOD_IME:
                return 'IME';
            case TextEvent.DOM_INPUT_METHOD_OPTION:
                return 'Option';
            case TextEvent.DOM_INPUT_METHOD_HANDWRITING:
                return 'Handwriting';
            case TextEvent.DOM_INPUT_METHOD_VOICE:
                return 'Voice';
            case TextEvent.DOM_INPUT_METHOD_MULTIMODAL: 
                return 'MultiModal';
            case TextEvent.DOM_INPUT_METHOD_SCRIPT:
                return 'Script';
            default:
                return 'Unknown';
        }
    }

 Used to emulate keyboard events from other input devices like on screen keyboard clicks, voice input, handwriting, copy and paste operations and scripted input methods.

The event type is case sensitive!

In Internet Explorer use ‘textinput’ for the eventType.

In Safari and Chromium use ‘textInput’ for the eventType parameter.

MSIE browsers further require that the event inputMethod isTrusted.
