I want to transfer all information of an event to a server. To do so I would need to serialize the event.

This is what I tried:

var element = document.QuerySelector('div');
element.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
    console.log(event);
    console.log(JSON.stringify(event));
}, false);

But all I get is an empty dictionary: {}

Is there any way to serialize an event object in a cross browser manner?

create your own object using the properties you want from the event (don't reference the DOM) then serialise that – Paul S. Nov 29 '14 at 18:42
Thanks, @MihaiDinculescu: I didn't find it. Gonna close this one, then – Julian F. Weinert Nov 29 '14 at 18:46
