Button text hit test issue

[siromega]

jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/siromega/6HYvw/2/

Issue: in IE9 and IE7 (though the fiddle doesn't work with IE7, beacuse, well, its IE7), if you click on the button you'll get the click event (hello!), but when you click on the text, the click event doesn't fire. The emitted HTML shows why - the text is a span outside the input element, and the click event is only attached to the button.

<span aria-hidden="true" class="ui-btn-inner ui-btn-corner-all"><span class="ui-btn-text">Start</span></span>
<input aria-disabled="false" id="mybutton" class="ui-btn-hidden" value="Start" type="button">

This only affects IE it seems. Chrome and FF7 run the event when text is clicked on.

Workaround - attach the onclick event from the button to the span.ui-btn-text element. Do this on pageshow, but be careful to only do it once.

I can run the jsfiddle with IE 7 (so, come on, not so bad ;-). But same issue. And with IE8 and IE 9 beta also.

I’m no longer seeing this issue in IE—it’s worth noting that /latest was out-of-sync around the time this came in, and was using a version from back before this issue was fixed (hopefully) once and for all. Let me know if you should run into this again, yeah?

Yup, RC3 fixed this. Thanks!
