Button: clicking on border of button causes event to fire with incorrect target

[Paul Barrass]

If a dojo button is clicked near/at it's edge, the event that is fired has a target/currentTarget of the <span>s surrounding the button, rather than the button itself, leading to problems determining which button was clicked. A workaround appears to be to test for this mis-targeted event and get the firstChild of the target.

This behaviour was not present in 1.1.1 - clicking on any part of the button resulted in an event with the button as the target.

Tested in FireFox? 3.0 and IE7

I'm assuming you mean "dijit button"? There's no such thing as a "dojo button" per se. Can you give a testcase?

This sounds like #6880.

If you just setup a separate onClick handler for each Button that will work

<button dojotype="dijit.form.Button" onClick="alert('button 1');">button 1</button>

If you want one handler function for multiple button clicks then you can reference "this":

<script>
function myOnclick(){
  alert(this.id);
}
</script>
...
<button dojotype="dijit.form.Button" onClick="myOnclick">button 1</button>

Basically, I don't see a good reason to even reference that event parameter.
