Clicking on a button in IE8 causes a PlaceChangeEvent

[mrsvan]

GWTBootstrap implements its buttons as elements with an href.

When you click on a button in IE8, the click event propagates into a PlaceChangeEvent which messes up the whole Activity/Places workflow.

In order to prevent the event propagation, I must manually add "event.preventDefault()" to my ClickHandlers.

This bug does not appear on more recent WebKit browsers.

Would it be possible to add preventDefault() to GWTBootstrap's internal implementation of Button?

Hi @mrsvan.
Umm...
I guess this fix plan has some problem.
If we add preventDefault within ClickHandler as default beheiber of Button, happen another problems.
I'll think another plan of this.

@mrsvan only IE8 ? I noticed the Places/Activities problems on IE9 too, but did not investigate further.

Hello Koen,

I did not investigate any further either - adding preventDefault() solved
my IE8 problem, so I left it at that.
