1515062 - Deleting buttons without type="button" in form cause submit() not to work

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 586329

(Core :: DOM: Forms, defect, P3)

Description

[brucekwells]

Attachment: Self documenting script file (mostly standard HTML / Javascript with PHP confirmation of post)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Steps to reproduce:

Wrote a script that reproduces the problem. PHP is just used to display posted data to confirm submit() worked.  Can be anything that does that. On Release 64.0 (64 bit)


Actual results:

Form does not submit after you delete a div inside a form from a button without the type="button" attribute.  Works in Chrome and Edge just fine.


Expected results:

Form should submit after removing div section in form.

Hi, first of all I just wanna say thanks for the Steps, and the detailed Test Case you provided, this rarely happens, I was able to reproduce this issue in Firefox 64.0, 65.0b6 as well as nightly 66.0a1 (2018-12-23).

I'm not sure if Core - Event Handling is the correct component for this issue or maybe the Javascript Engine but please feel free to change the component for it to a more suitable one.
