Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Form Manager, defect)

Description

[Brandon Croft]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

In the onclick image button method, I hide the button using display 'none' so it
cant be clicked twice. When the post request is made, the image button's normal
values (name.x & name.y) are not sent with the request.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hide an imagebutton before submission takes place
2. Examine form data

Actual Results:  
form data for image button is missing (name.x, name.y)

This is correct.  By the time the submit is being processed, we don't have a
visual object corresponding to the image, and hence the coordinates would make
no sense.

Suggested workaround: set event.target.style.visibility='hidden' rather than
event.target.style.display='none'
