WindowEventHandlers

WindowEventHandlers mixin describes the event handlers common to several interfaces like Window, or HTMLBodyElement and  HTMLFrameSetElement. Each of these interfaces can implement additional specific event handlers.

Note: WindowEventHandlers is a mixin and not an interface; you can't actually create an object of type WindowEventHandlers.
