Very true... IE 5 does this. Is it in the spec?

<makes note to self to read HTML 4 spec sometime>

I doesn't render because it isn't getting into the content model. If I dump the 
content model I get:

docshell=0137EEA0
html@02733208 refcount=3<
  head@027325B8 refcount=2<
  >
  body@0277DF28 refcount=3<

Okay, this is a strict DTD issue. 

Note: Strict DTD will not be supported in mozilla. This bug should go off once 
strict DTD is yanked.  Btw, I see the button "test" in my tree ( with strict DTD 
off ).

Here is the content model:

docshell=01C7BEA0
html@01CBBC58 xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml xml:lang=en refcount=3<
  head@01CBCCC8 refcount=2<
  >
  Text@0325BB90 refcount=3<\n>
  body@0325C138 refcount=3<
    Text@03394EC0 refcount=3<\n>
    input@033979EC type=button value=test onclick=alert('ah.. you found me') 
refcount=4<>
    Text@033867D0 refcount=3<\n>

This bug would go away when bug 50070 gets fixed. Marking it a dupe of 50070 (
though it's not exactly a dupe ).
