Comment #5 on issue 1404 by kpreid.switchb.org: Click() method missing on
buttons
http://code.google.com/p/google-caja/issues/detail?id=1404
Adding the explanation of the rationale originally from issue 1129, as I've
made this the canonical "implement click()" bug:
If we just invoke native .click(), then the event it produces can trigger
event listeners (especially capturing ones) in the host page. This is
undesirable in that we otherwise provide the condition that the only time
the host page will see a click event is when the user actually clicks;
guests' createEvent/dispatchEvent are namespaced so they do not trigger
host listeners.
The alternative is to reimplement all of the possible side effects
of .click() (which include e.g. modifying form fields' state). This is
doable, but is a large amount of work reimplementing browser behavior, and
we have not observed a strong need for click().
