Button href & Internet Explorer

[TekTimmy]

When clicking "com.github.gwtbootstrap.client.ui.Button" in Internet Explorer (I tested version 9, 10 and 11) GWT raises an event that makes it call the "mayStop" method in "com.google.gwt.activity.shared.Activity"s.

I have to completly remove the "href" attribute from the Button element to prevent this behavior. By default the button contains href="javascript:;" which should be removed as long as no href value is assigned.

hummmm.....

I really don't know why href="javascript:;" is put by default.

@caarlos0 do you know?

Anyway, as an alternative, if this keeping this heref initial value is really necessary, we can maybe stopPropagation.

An anchor without a href don't have the "hand" cursor on hover. I believe that because of that, but I dunno if this is from gwt-bootstrap or gwt itself.

I must say that to solve this problem i have to remove the whole "ahref" attribute not just setting an empty value.

As workaround in extended class from Button
@OverRide
public void setEmptyHref() {
getElement().removeAttribute("href");
}
