From Re: Pale Moon 32 has been released!
QuoteOne important implementation that was missed in the original release notes was the fact that we now also have a workaround for the infamous <button> issue where websites are non-compliant due to Google Chrome treating <button> elements like generic containers, contrary to the HTML standard.
The release notes have been updated accordingly now, and here is the implementation note to go along with it:QuoteRelease Notes wrote:To provide users with a temporary work-around for non-compliant websites, a compatibility mode for <button> elements was implemented, which will treat <button> elements as generic containers instead of actual form button elements. This has been necessary because Chrome is not standards compliant in this respect and website developers regularly make the mistake of trying to use active content on button faces and expecting pointer events to end up being sent to the active content and not the button (which is not what the standard prescribes! See "content model" on the standards page stating there "must be no interactive content descendant"). Webmasters should be alerted to this compliance issue, but it can (temporarily) be worked around in the browser from this point for forward by setting the preference dom.forms.button.standards_compliant to false and restarting the browser. Note that this is a workaround and the only actual solution is advocacy for the standard and more browsers becoming standards compliant.
May the wind sing to you and the sun rise in your heart...
