48000 - onclick handler of radio buttons runs before clicked set

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 42972

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

Description

[Andrew Pimlott]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16errata i686; en-US; m17) Gecko/20000807
BuildID:    2000080712

The onclick handler of radio buttons runs before the radio button is marked
clicked.  This is a change in behavior from NS4 (and I think from IE).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load this page:

<form>
<input type=radio name=bar value=1 onclick="
    alert(this.checked ? 'yes' : 'no');">
<input type=radio name=bar value=2 onclick="
    alert(this.checked ? 'yes' : 'no');">
</form>

2. click radio buttons


Actual Results:  You will notice that when you switch buttons, the alert says
"no", but when you rehit the same button, the alert says "yes".

Expected Results:  In NS4, and I think IE, the alert always says "yes".  I don't
know what any standard says, but this has broken existing pages.

I think this worked as I expected in earlier mozilla builds (14? 15?), but I'm
not sure.
