Incidentally, I've discussed this before, but...onclick is implemented in practically all current browsers as a non-device-specific event, as it is triggered by keyboard access as well (on elements that can receive focus via keyboard tabbing, anyway, i.e. links and form elements). So, for the most part, those Blobby and WebXCACK errors are irrelevant for modern browsers, and - if there is indeed a graceful fallback option - completely pointless.
