Description Dick 2005-08-06 13:23:02 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

This is the html page:

<html>
<body>
<ul onclick="alert(event.target.tagName);">
<li>test</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>

Now click on the marker in front of the text "test" and the alert will display "UL" . Both MSIE and mozilla/firefox will display "LI".

It only happens with list-style-position: outside (the default) 
With list-style-postion: inside , LI is returned (like I expected)

It makes no difference, whether you are using a list-style-type or a list-style-image.

I wanted to use this to build a "tree" and expand a subtree when you click on either the marker or the text. The problem is that with konqueror you do not know which LI element was clicked.

Confirmed. I suspect that the event-handler never realize you have clicked the marker, since markers are kinda virtual positioned, and just returns UL because you hit the inside of the UL.

testcase.

The issue can't be reproduced in SVN (rev. 798035)

Clicking on "test" will return "LI".

Provided test case works for konq 3.5.9. as well as 4.0.3. Closing this bug as both 3.5.x and 4.x work.

Using Gentoo Linux ~x86 (testing in gentoo lingo). KDE 3.5.9/4.0.3 and the majority of packages compiled using gcc 4.3.0.
