confirm box or alert box need twice click

Question

confirm box or alert box need twice click

I recently install safari on my Window XP System. I use it to visit a web site,if there is a button can popup a confirm box,I need to click[OK] twice to close it. Then I write a HTML page with javascript to test it.

when I write the javascript function confirm() or alert() in the onload() event,it works well,click once and it's closed.

but when I write the javascript function confirm() or alert() in a button click event, I need to click twice to close it.

I think it's a bug, and I have no idea to deal with it.

By the way,My safari version is 5.0.4

How to fix it? anybody who can help me?

Dear Carolyn,thanks for your reply.

but, our customer don't want to update the safari version recently.

anybody who is interesting in this problem can run the simple program just by opening the html file by safari.

create a file named test1.html

CODE:

<html>

</body>

</html>

test result: It works well, the confirm box is clicked once and closed.

create a flie named test2.html

CODE:

<html>

<body>

</body>

</html>

test result: the confirm box need click twice to close.

It is still a problem in Version 5.0.5. It appears to be a focus issue. The first click can be ANYWHERE in the dialog box. Then either OK or CANCEL can be clicked and they work properly.

Sure seems like a bug to me.

If you are one of safari developers , I hope you kill the problem.

I had been afflicted with it for several months and I can't sleep in deep night.I want to find a way by javascript to avoid it,but finally I am defeated by it.😢
