Description benjamin Horsleben 2012-10-18 06:09:52 PDT 
When having a button-element with type=submit contain another element (such as a label), clicking the containing element will not trigger form-submission.

Clicking directly on the button (instead of the child element) will trigger submission as expected.


The example urls shows the minimum code that provokes this error. The form-submission prints the current time in a span after the form, to show that something has happened.


The button does receive click-events properly, so adding 'onclick=this.form.submit()' to the button will make the form submit, but that should not be necessary, and also avoids triggering the submit-event for the form.

*** Chrome Canary 115 ***

Clicking on 'label' text, does not change anything, clicking outside will trigger and display date.

*** Safari 16.5 / WebKit ToT && Firefox Nightly 115 ***

Clicking on 'label' text or outside boundaries will trigger and display date and change it as needed.
