272148 - Firefox 1.0PR doesn't always execute "onclick" code when mouse is over images or text

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect)

Description

[Josh]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0PR

Firefox 1.0PR doesn't always execute "onclick" code when the mouse is over
images or text. However, the "onmouseup" code ALWAYS executes.
Basically what I'm doing is working on my menu software (WebDDM), and trying to
do stuff with "onclick" of an item (a DIV element). The onclick code for the DIV
element doesn't execute if the mouse is over text or images inside the DIV.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a DIV element with onmousedown, onmouseup, and onclick code
2. Put a table and one cell inside the DIV tag. The order should be: div, table,
tbody, tr, td
3. Put text/images inside the TD cell
4. Click on the text/images

Actual Results:  
The onmouseup code fires but the onclick code doesn't

Expected Results:  
The onclick code should have been executed too

Sorry to clarify this before, but I just found this out - the innerHTML of the
DIV element must change for this bug to take effect. If the innerHTML changes in
the onmousedown code, the onmouseup code will execute but the onclick code will
not. :)

You should only report bugs on the latest stable version (1.0) or the nightlies
when reporting a bug. You can get the branch and trunk nightlies from:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/
Don't forget to backup your profile.
If you don't see this bug in new versions please resolve it as WorksForMe. Thanks.

Oh, and "website" is for bugs in the firefox webpages, see
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Firefox ;)

[e-mail]; please be sure to pick the right *Gecko* version
when you send a bug to core (gecko1.7=ff1.0) and don't forget to click reassign
by component.

Attachment: This file demonstrates the bug.

Here is the requested attachment. In Firefox 1.0, everything works as described
in the HTML source (instructions for testing are in an HTML comment).

Ah, ok.  This is happening clicking away the "mouseup" alert triggers a
mouseout, which removes the text that was moused on.  Since it's no longer
around, there is nothing to fire the click at, so the click event is never fired.

Fixing bug 234455 would fix this.

FYI: in Firefox 1.0.2 (Windows), clicking on the text in the red DIV works
(displays both alerts).  Perhaps the OP needs to recheck this, it might have
been fixed.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Problem definitely still exists on the trunk

When I try attachment 172295 [details] with Seamonkey 1.5a rv:1.9a4pre build 2007042309 or Firefox 2.0.0.3 rv:1.8.1.3 build 20070309 under XP Pro, I get both alerts (the mouseup and click alerts) when clicking on the text.
