The DIV will be in bubbling phase. A textnode shouldn't be an event-target, since it is not an element. With on onclick on a BUTTON-element, the event-target is the BUTTON element. This is correct behaviour. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See page on supplied URL. 1. Click on the div 2. Click on the button Actual Results: 1. '#text' is alerted 2. 'BUTTON' is alerted Expected Results: 1. 'DIV' should have been alerted 2. not wrong I think this is a bug. I'm not to sure, because DOM Level 2 Events is a bit unclear about html-binding.
