105399 - simple button does submit()

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 97829

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[F. R.]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
BuildID:    

I'm using buttons with onclick-javascript-events. But <button> does submit the 
form, without beeing advised to.
although, the onclicked javascript-function is without content, it submits, 
when clicked.
Another thing: Mozilla 0.9.4/0.9.5 are changing QueryStrings.
I've got a page, which calls itself with attached QueryString-Variables but one 
or two of them get lost, although the Url is smaller than 255 chars.
Over and above, the sequence of the QueryString was changed after the reload?!


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. click the <button> without content (first bug)
2. reload the page by location.href (second bug)
3.

How do you write your button ?

If you don't specify any type for a button, HTML 4 recommendation says that the
type is "submit" by default.

Can you provide a testcase for the second problem ?
