37.4.1 apex.event.trigger

Given a jQuery selector, jQuery object or DOM Node the specified pEvent is triggered. pEvent can be a browser event like "click" or "change" but also a custom event like "slidechange". This function should only be used to trigger events that are handled by the dynamic action framework. Otherwise, custom events registered by plug-ins installed in your application or any event that is already exposed in dynamic actions can be compromised.
