Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect, P5)

Description

[Neal Stewart]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_5) AppleWebKit/537.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/22.0.1229.79 Safari/537.4

Steps to reproduce:

I executed the following JavaScript.

-------------------------

var e = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
e.initEvent("click", true, true);

var a = document.createElement("A");
a.href = "javascript:void(0)";

var b = a.dispatchEvent(e);


Actual results:

b was false!


Expected results:

It should have been true. With this code, it is true.

-------------------------

var e = document.createEvent('Event');
e.initEvent("click", true, true);

var a = document.createElement("A");
a.href = "javascript:void(0)";

var b = a.dispatchEvent(e);
