The `Event.isTrusted` property in JavaScript distinguishes between native user-triggered events and programmatically dispatched events. When a user physically clicks an element, `isTrusted` is `true`; when `element.click()` is called in code, it's `false`. However, this distinction only reliably applies to `click` events — methods like `button.focus()` and `form.requestSubmit()` still produce events with `isTrusted: true` because the browser itself is the underlying source. Any event dispatched via `dispatchEvent()` will have `isTrusted: false`. The most practical use case is preventing recursive click event handling when your own code calls `.click()` programmatically.
