title: Internet Explorer 9, 10 & 11 Event constructor doesn't work
body: <p>I am creating an event, so use the DOM Event constructor:</p>
  
  <pre><code>new Event('change');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works fine in modern browsers, however in Internet Explorer 9, 10 &amp; 11, it fails with: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Object doesn't support this action
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I fix Internet Explorer (ideally via a polyfill)? If I can't, is there a workaround I can use?</p>
