Bug 134319 – [iOS]: Tapping <button> outside of a form is no longer working

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebCore Misc.

[Joseph Pecoraro]

Reduction:

    <button>Test Button</button>
    <script>
    document.addEventListener('click', function() {
        alert('click');
    }, false);
    </script>

This is no longer working. It looks like when upstreaming iOS WebKit we changed HTMLButtonElement::willRespondToMouseClickEvents away from the iOS implementation to the OpenSource (Chromium / Android implementation). We should revert back to the iOS implementation that supports <button> outside of a <form>.

Can we write a DRT test for this?

Hmm, probably. I'll look into this.
