47955 - onmouseover prevents CSS a:hover (etc) definitions

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 38380

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Description

[Roland Unger]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.7 [en] (Win98; I)
BuildID:    2000080712

Normally a:hover definitions for the <a> tag work. But if you add
onmouseover and onmouseout statements in the <a>-tag for instance
to give further informations in the status bar then the CSS
definitions are ignored. (Bug found both in M16 and M17).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Define CSS definitions like a:active, a:hover { color: brown }
2.Test it: <a href="test.htm">Link</a>
3.Add an onmousover statement like <a href="test.htm"
onmouseover="return ShowStatus('Text')">Link</a>

function ShowStatus(msg) {
   window.status=msg;
   return true;
}


Actual Results:  The bug occurs after adding the JavaScript statement: no change
of CSS colors (the script works).						
	

Expected Results:  Change of <a>-tag properties as defined in CSS.
