Disabled form element and dispatchEvent bug in Opera

May 19th 2008 Posted to dom2, javascript, opera

I’ve stumbled across a bug in Opera 9.27 (which I dutifully reported).  Basically, if you disable a form element and use the DOM2 dispatchEvent method on the element to simulate a click, the element fires the event.  Since the element is disabled, it should not fire any click event handlers – this is the behavior in Firefox and Safari.   Here’s the html I used to prove it:
