Status: UNCONFIRMED

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:10.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.2
Build ID: 20120215223356

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to prevent link from gaining a focus and instead pass the focus to another html:input. For that reason I've attached a handler to the DOM object via .getElementById('#foo').onfocus = function (){
    .getElementById('#foo_another').focus()
    return false
}.  


Actual results:

when link gains focus via "tab"-key all is fine, but if user clicks that link then event fires twice and handler executes twice respectivelly


Expected results:

if user clicks the link event should fire only one time
