VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 41718

People

(Reporter: djcb, Assigned: clayton)

Details

Only when written in smallcaps <a href="javascript:..." works. IE doesn't care,
neither does NS4.x (I think), so there are quite some sites that don't work.
Minimal example:

<html>
<body>
<a href="javascript:alert('bla')">Works</a><br>
<a href="JavaScript:alert('bla')">Does not work</a><br>
</body>
</html>
jrgm: is this a dup of the bug you filed earlier?
Which bug was that? bug #41728?

At any rate, desale filed a bug on this, prompted by the post by djcb@dds.nl 
(Dirk-Jan C. Binnema) -- Thanks. -- By the way, desale emailed you, but got a 
bounced email in return (perhaps a typo error). 

So ... this bug is a dup of bug #41718 (or at least that bug has the right 
owner -- jst). 

(bug #41728 is a 'buglet' for a string comparison in the context menu.)
