144803 - onClick doesn't work if <a href=""> is not specified

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Winnie]

Build ID: 2002051408

A link is not clickable if there is no href, so onClick events won't take place.

Reporter: could you please provide a small test case that demonstrates the problem?

History?  ->Event handling, which sounds far more likely, at least until we get
a test case and can figure out a better place for it.

testcase WFM, winXP 2002061308 trunk.

Winnie: can you please confirm whether you still see the problem, and whether
Boris's testcase is an accurate interpretation of the problem you are describing.

Sorry about filing an invalid bug.

After cleaning up bloated source code to create a testcase, I found out that the
problem was caused by some standards-incompliant javascript code.
The script was written for only NC4/IE4.

I promise I'll be more careful next time. Really...

OK, reporter says invalid, we can't reproduce, so verified.

Again, thanks for letting us know.  Wish more people did that...
