Note: This property only works if the event system supports it for the particular event.
event.timeStamp
This value is the number of milliseconds elapsed from the beginning of the current document's lifetime till the event was created.
In newer implementations, the value is a DOMHighResTimeStamp accurate to 5 microseconds (0.005 ms). In older implementations, the value is a DOMTimeStamp, accurate to a millisecond.
