42830 - calling Javascript from 'onclick' attribute of <input> tags sometimes fails

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect, P3)

Description

[rcb]

"http://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/test/test4.html" gives a hint about the nature
of the problem.

In 'test3', if you click the 'Browse mode' button and then the 'Go to' button,
there is an error about an undefined Javascript function, which is expected
behavior.  If you click on 'Search mode' and then 'Submit', nothing happens when
an alert should come up on a click of the 'Search mode'.

'test4' is the same as 'test3' except that the positions of the <DIV> sections
'browse_control_div' and 'searchframe' are reversed.  Here, clicking on the
'Browse mode' and then 'Go to' buttons, nothing happens when the error about an
undefined Javascript function should appear.  Clicking on 'Search mode' and
'Search' buttons, the expected alert box comes up.

Confirming on both WinNT and Linux tip builds made 2000-06-29.
Not an engine issue; reassigning to - Parser ?

I'm almost certain that this is not a parser bug. But will take a look anyway.

Possibly related to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42356 ?

This is working for me in Linux commercial build (just pulled and built). Also
this seems to be working on NT PR 2.
