It's not scoping in WebKit (http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/451). There exists at least one site (http://www.gf-hunters.de/) that becomes unusable (the links become unclickable) if <button> is scoping. Furthermore, the failure mode of putting too much content inside <button> is more disruptive than the failure mode of putting too little content inside <button>. Therefore, please make <button> non-scoping. 34918 1 ian 2010-04-13 09:15:42 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
