Firefox 1.5rc1 still has the same faulty behaviour...how weird.

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" 
/
/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
