SUEvent is a wrapper around the JavaScript event prototype.

Current Web browsers (with the exception of the latest FireFox builds)
do not allow you to instantiate/create/trigger your own event objects.
Events are solely generated by the operating system and converted to
JavaScript objects in your Browser. The SUEvent object can only be
used within event-handlers (with the exception of #on:do:), as this is
the only place where the JavaScript variable 'event' is defined.

You can use SUEvent like this:

| x y |
x := ValueHolder new.
y := ValueHolder new.
html div
	style: 'width: 100px; height: 100px';
	onClick: (html updater
		callback: [ :v | x contents: v ] value: SUEvent new x;
		callback: [ :v | y contents: v ] value: SUEvent new y;
		callback: [ :r | html render: x contents; space; render: y contents ])

I don't exactly understand what you want to do with SUEvent? Can you
elaborate your intentions?

Cheers,
Lukas
