Here's a simple test case: <p onclick="alert('fff');">Foo</p> It doesn't work in my 11-6-98 Win32 Release build. onmousedown, however, does work.

angus, how is this with the new build? Is this bug Linux only?

It's not Linux only; it was a mistake I made when entering the bug the first time from my Linux box. Unfortunately, you cannot undo that sort of mistake :-) Tom is working on a fix he plans to check-in tonight I think.

Okay, so I'm going to fix this one in two parts. The first solves this part of the bug. I've checked that in. You should now be able to set onclick handlers on arbitrary tags and have the events fire. The second part is transfer over our internal link and button firing to use these same click events. I'm not doing that now because I'm only about 97% comfortable with them. I figure this is fine for firing of DOM click events but I don't want links to stop working. Assigned this part of bug as new bug 1571 for later fix.

Changing Platform to all. Need QA to Verify for Windows and Linux please.

angus, can you verify this first part for this bug with Nov 24 build please?

Verified fixed in 11/24/98 build. Great work, Tom!
