[WSG] Firefox onblur and onfocus event bubbling bug
Hi standardistas, Ive had a problem with onfocus and onblur where Firefox is calling onblur before onfocus when clicking on an input element. This is a bug (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53118 ) because it goes against the DOM2 Event handling spec. The only way around it at the moment seems to be to check whether youre running on Gecko via client sniffing and insert a conditional code fork in your _javascript_ so [] you explicitly preventBubbles on the event that really shoulndt bubble in the first place. (from the page referred to above). Just thought Id let those of you unaware of this issue know so you dont have to suffer the same frustration Ive had trying to figure out whats happened. Anyone with Firefox 1.5 beta know if this issue is fixed in that version? Heres my test: HTML: !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN html head titleonblur test/title /head body input name=test type=text id=test called'); called'); called'); called'); / /body /html IE6 using a mouse to click into the textbox alerts onfocus called using a mouse to click outside the textbox alerts onblur called keyboard tabbing to the textbox alerts onfocus called keyboard tabbing out of the textbox alerts onblur called, followed by onkeydown called followed by onfocus called followed by onblur Firefox 1.07 using a mouse to click into the textbox alerts onblur called followed by onfocus called using a mouse to click outside the textbox alerts onblur called keyboard tabbing to the textbox alerts onblur called followed by onfocus called keyboard tabbing out of the textbox alerts onblur called, followed by onkeydown called Grant Focas **This message is intended for the addressee named and may containprivileged information or confidential information or both.
