1205374 - Javascript code and function calls do not work within OnClientClick asp button attribute

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: Web Apps, defect)

Description

[stone.johnny]

What did you do?
================
1. ASP Button with an onclientclick attribute calling javascript function.
2. Button should create an event client side that the javascript will pick up and run code to modify the text of an ASP Label.
3. Button also has C# code behind that does execute.

What happened?
==============
In Internet Explorer and Chrome, both the client side event and the server side event are triggered and both the javascript and c# code is executed. In Firefox, the javascript code is not executed whether it is a function call or inline code. The only exception is creating an alert or confirm dialog box.

What should have happened?
==========================
The expected behavior is for a button click to trigger the client side event and change text on the page while a server side event is picked up that executes c# code.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================

Per bug 1238079, we're going to disable the desktop web runtime and remove it
from the codebase, so we won't fix these bugs in the integration between Firefox and the runtime.
