Bug 49424 – Calling actions twice for <input type="submit" /> and <button type="submit" /> in a <form>

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Component: WebCore Misc.

How to reproduce:

<form action="javascript: handler()" method="get">
<button id="pass1" type="submit" />
<input id="pass2" type="submit" />
</form>
<script>
var count = 0;

function handler()
{
    count++;
}

var input = document.getElementById('pass2');
input.click();
console.log(count);
</script>


Expected:
count will be 1 after input.click();

Actual:
count will be 2.

For more details,

handler() was incorrectly called twice in case of clicking passC2, passD1, passE1, passE3, passF2 and passG3. Otherwise once.

I guess that clicking <input type="submit"> coexisting with other <button type="submit">s causes double calling.

<form action="javascript: handler()" method="get">
<input id="passA1" type="submit" />
<input id="passA2" type="submit" />
</form>
<form action="javascript: handler()" method="get">
<button id="passB1" type="submit" />
<button id="passB2" type="submit" />
</form>
<form action="javascript: handler()" method="get">
<button id="passC1" type="submit" />
<input id="passC2" type="submit" />
</form>
<form action="javascript: handler()" method="get">
<input id="passD1" type="submit" />
<button id="passD2" type="submit" />
</form>
<form action="javascript: handler()" method="get">
<input id="passE1" type="submit" />
<button id="passE2" type="submit" />
<input id="passE3" type="submit" />
</form>
<form action="javascript: handler()" method="get">
<button id="passF1" type="submit" />
<input id="passF2" type="submit" />
<button id="passF3" type="submit" />
</form>
<form action="javascript: handler()" method="get">
<button id="passG1" type="submit" />
<button id="passG2" type="submit" />
<input id="passG3" type="submit" />
</form>

We have many bugs about this, and most or all likely have a single root cause.

See bug 13012, bug 34315, bug 33513, bug 9715. There are probably more, dglazkov may remember those.

Yep. See https://bugs.webkit.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=39021 for a full-on overview of the problem. More importantly, if you wish to contribute cycles into the effort, I'd be more than happy to help with guidance.

Hi Dimitri, Alexey,

Thank you for letting me know. I posted it since I just found the behavior with <input>s and <button>s when working for other bugs.

It looks like having a deep cause... I'll try it after finishing other bugs which I'm contributing to.

I'll be starting to work on them.

I found it works correctly on the current version, great! (I still couldn't find which patch fixed this bug.)


I'll be starting on the bugs at https://bugs.webkit.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=39021 .

Dimitri, I'm wondering if you could give me a kind of guidance about "a single root cause" of them...
