[Javascript] IE/win click detection, not on text

[mdougherty at pbp.com (Mike Dougherty)]

I'm having a click problem on buttons - it seems like you have to click on the button label.  If 
(as my boss does repeatedly) you click on the border/edge surrounding the text, that the focus 
does not jump to the button and successive clicks [including those on the label themselves] does 
not fire the click event.  The 'fix' is to click a different control to accept focus again, and be 
more careful about clicking the label on the button.

I will be spending more time researching this phenomenon, unless someone can explain what is 
happening/why and how to fix it.
