{{APIRef("DOM")}}{{AvailableInWorkers}}

The isTrusted read-only property of the {{domxref("Event")}} interface is a boolean value that is true when the event was generated by the user agent (including via user actions and programmatic methods such as {{domxref("HTMLElement.focus()")}}), and false when the event was dispatched via {{domxref("EventTarget.dispatchEvent()")}}. The only exception is the click event, which initializes the isTrusted property to false in user agents.

Value

A boolean value.

Example

js
if (e.isTrusted) {
  /* The event is trusted */
} else {
  /* The event is not trusted */
}
