115780 - Form submission doesn't run onClick() of submit button

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 109463

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

Type "gold" into search string, hit return.  Note the "Please specify a query
error.  Now go back and instead click on the submit (Search) button.  Note a
zillion matches.

Also affects QVC and Bugzilla query pages (in slightly different ways).

tcpdump/ethereal should be able to show what's wrong with the form submission.

This is REALLY bad......

This is the URL it goes to if you hit return:

http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&ht=1&ebaytag1=ebayreg&query=&query2=gold&search_option=1&exclude=&category0=&minPrice=&maxPrice=&ebaytag1code=0&st=&SortProperty=MetaEndSort

This is the URL it goes to if you hit the submit button:

http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&ht=1&ebaytag1=ebayreg&query=gold&query2=gold&search_option=1&exclude=&category0=&minPrice=&maxPrice=&ebaytag1code=0&st=&SortProperty=MetaEndSort

Note query= in the first, and query=gold in the second. In both, query2=gold.

'query' is a hidden input; 'query2' is the visible one.  The onsubmit JS is
supposed to process query2 and options and set query.


I know what is going on.  NS4.x doesn't submit on return; it goes to the next
text widget.  IE 5 submits, but it appears to find and run the onClick() for the
submit button.  Lack of running the onClick(whichOption(this.form)) is what
causes this bug.

Changing subject to match known cause.  OS->all
