24406	SelectFilter should use click events instead of href javascript functions	Rolf Jagerman	Rolf Jagerman	"SelectFilter uses javascript in an href to handle button behavior:
{{{
<a href=""javascript:function(){...}"">
}}}

This is problematic if one wishes to customize the widget, since the href javascript is executed after events are handled. It would be better to use a click event to handle this type of behavior:  
{{{
someElement.addEventListener(""click"", function() { ... } );
}}}

I have proposed a patch on github:
