(Core :: DOM: Events, defect, P5)

Description

[nlazarov]

Attachment: Click Content text and check the console for output

User Agent: Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.17

Steps to reproduce:

In a simple <div> element add mouseup and click event listeners.
In the mouseup event listener hide the event.target - event.target.style.display = "none";
In the click event check the value for the event.target.
Click the div content and observe the output - the event.target for the click event handler is the text node.


Actual results:

The event target for the click event handler is the text node within the <div> container.


Expected results:

The event target in the click event handler should still be the <div> element.

I forgot to mention that this issue may result in JS error in Google Analytics scripts when they are present on the page. The error is - TypeError: a.getAttribute is not a function
