IE 8 generates onExecute event for ALL buttons, not just Submit buttons

[drcoelho]

When using dijit.form.Button from within dijit.Dialog, ALL buttons generate an onExecute event causing the dialog to hide, even when not tagged as a submit button.

Behavior is as expected in Firefox and Chrome, but is broken per above in IE version 8.

You need to specify type=button on the buttons, as documented in #9334, #9152, #8946, and the ​release notes. type=submit is actually the standard behavior for <button> nodes according to the HTML spec.

Although dijit.form.Button does defines the default type to be button, there's a parser problem where it needs to be specified explicitly on the <button> node too.

Will check in a fix for this soon so changing status from duplicate to open.

(In [24185]) Refactor parser to allow attributes (for a single node) to be partly specified in data-dojo-props, and partly specified directly ex: value=123. Uses node.attributes to detect which attributes are specified on a node, or for older versions of IE calls cloneNode(false) followed by some regex's on clone.outerHTML.

Due to lowercase/uppercase issues (ex: tabIndex, onClick), and for type conversion, the code still introspects each widget to get it's attribute metadata. In the future, would like to defer/avoid that in the common case. Fixes #10153, #12423, #12476, #10150, #9823, refs #11490 !strict.

Also fixes the problem on IE8 where a button without type=... defaults to type=submit rather than whatever the widget defines the default as, fixes #10163, refs #9334, #8946.

Future updates will be attached to ticket #12476.

Turns out this wasn't fixed by [24185], and I don't see any way to fix it. I filed #14135 so at least there won't be a discrepancy of behavior between browsers.

[bill]

Marking as wontfix, but see #14135, scheduled for 2.0.
