[Simpletest-support] Web tester and javascript:void(0) links

[Lorenzo A. <l.a...@ti...>]

Hi Marcus,

I'm trying to test a web page with some text links that
dynamically create a form [1] and submit the request
via POST. It is all done with the onClick handler,
and the href attribute is set to "javascript:void(0)",
as you can see below.
SimpleTest seems to ignore the onClick action,
it only considers the href attribute...
here's the Request dump:

<?php
$this->clickLink('a link')
$this->showRequest();
?>

================================================
GET /path/to/my/page/javascript:void(0) HTTP/1.0
Host: localhost
Connection: close
================================================

obviously I get a "HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden" error
as a response.

Do you know any workaround for this issue?
Should I submit a bug report?

TIA

Best regards,

[1] A sample link:

<a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick='var form = 
document.createElement("form"); form.action = "mypage.php"; form.method 
= "POST"; 
document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].appendChild(form);form.submit(); 
return false;'>a link</a>
