  - addEventPreview
```
@Deprecated
public static void addEventPreview(EventPreview preview)
```
    Deprecated. replaced by Event.addNativePreviewHandler(Event.NativePreviewHandler)
    
    Adds an event preview to the preview stack. As long as this preview remains on the top of the stack, it will receive all events before they are fired to their listeners. Note that the event preview will receive all events, including those received due to bubbling, whereas normal event handlers only receive explicitly sunk events.
    
    Parameters:
    preview - the event preview to be added to the stack.
  - appendChild
```
public static void appendChild(Element parent,
               Element child)

    Parameters:
    parent - the parent element
    child - its new child
    See Also:
    PotentialElement.resolve(Element)
  - clone
```
public static Element clone(Element elem,

    elem - the element whose events are to be retrieved
    eventTypeName - name of the event to sink on this element
  - sinkEvents
```
public static void sinkEvents(Element elem,
              int eventBits)
```
    Sets the current set of events sunk by a given element. These events will be fired to the nearest EventListener specified on any of the element's parents.
    
    Parameters:
    elem - the element whose events are to be retrieved
    eventBits - a bitfield describing the events sunk on this element (its possible values are described in Event)
  - toString
```
@Deprecated
public static java.lang.String toString(Element elem)
```
    Deprecated. Use Element.getString() instead.
    
    Returns a stringized version of the element. This string is for debugging purposes and will NOT be consistent on different browsers.
    
    Parameters:
    elem - the element to stringize
    
    Returns:
    a string form of the element
  - windowGetClientHeight
```
@Deprecated
public static int windowGetClientHeight()
```
    Deprecated. As of GWT 1.5, replaced by Window.getClientHeight()
  - windowGetClientWidth
```
@Deprecated
public static int windowGetClientWidth()
```
    Deprecated. As of GWT 1.5, replaced by Window.getClientWidth()
  - dispatchEvent
```
public static void dispatchEvent(Event evt,
                 Element elem,
                 EventListener listener)
```
    This method is called directly by native code when any event is fired.
    
    Parameters:
    evt - the handle to the event being fired.
    elem - the handle to the element that received the event.
    listener - the listener associated with the element that received the event.
  - dispatchEvent
```
public static boolean dispatchEvent(Event evt,
                    Element elem)
```
    This method is a similar to dispatchEvent(Event, Element, EventListener) but only dispatches if an event listener is set to element.
    
    Parameters:
    evt - the handle to the event being fired.
    elem - the handle to the element that received the event.
    
    Returns:
    true if the event was dispatched
  - maybeInitializeEventSystem
```
static void maybeInitializeEventSystem()
```
    Initialize the event system if it has not already been initialized.
  - previewEvent
```
public static boolean previewEvent(Event evt)
```
    This method is called directly by native code when event preview is being used.
    
    Parameters:
    evt - a handle to the event being previewed
    
    Returns:
    false to cancel the event
  - asOld
```
public static Element asOld(Element elem)
```
    Provided as a convenient way to upcast values statically typed as Element to Element. For easier upgrades in the future, it's recommended that this function only be called within a return statement.
    Does not throw a NullPointerException if elem is null.
