The webpage I provided is a sample of something I've come across on a couple websites... An anchor tag, with an onClick attribute but no href. IE and Opera both render this fine and when you click on the text, the alert window pops up. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to the page. 2. Attempt to click on the text Actual Results: Nothing happens. Expected Results: A JavaScript alert window should pop up.
Your testcase shows an error because there is no argument in the alert() function. This issue has been recognized previously but ruled a WONTFIX issue. See bug 98184 comment 3. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 98185 ***
