The value of this constant is "fault".

The properties of the event object have the following values:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse
currentTargetThe Object that defines the event listener that handles the event. For example, if you use myButton.addEventListener() to register an event listener, myButton is the value of the currentTarget.
faultCodeProvides destination-specific details of the failure.
faultDetailProvides access to the destination-specific reason for the failure.

messageThe ErrorMessage for this event.
rootCause Provides access to the underlying reason for the failure, if one exists.
targetThe Object that dispatched the event; it is not always the Object listening for the event. Use the currentTarget property to always access the Object listening for the event.
