[Edbrowse-dev] fetch local / progress on carrier lookup

Awesome.  Thank you.

I have exciting progress to report on freecarrierlookup.com

We are very close.  Here's the issue.  Is there some way we can allow 
elements to act as clickables when they are not a traditional HTML button, 
but basically anything like an image or a span, yet they have event code attached?

freecarrierlookup's submit button is a type="image"

The exciting thing about freecarrierlookup is that all of the other steps 
work.  You can actually go to jdb and trigger the function that the submit 
is supposed to trigger: showCarrier.
This goes to xhr.  xhr loads the subject matter 
(the entry about the phone number you asked for).  A callback places this 
in a div with id txtHint.  innerHTML side effect works beautifully.  When 
you exit out of jdb, the information has made it back to edbrowse!

Here's the image with the onclick.
<input type="image" src="images/search2.png" 
onmouseover="this.src='images/search2hi.png'" 
onmouseout="this.src='images/search2.png'" 
onclick="showCarrier(document.getElementById('small').value, 
document.getElementById('large').value);return false"/>


Tyler also asked about something on the site fanfiction.net which I think 
in part is a related issue of event handlers on arbitrary elements that we 
haven't earmarked as being interactive.

I think there is a lot of transforming of elements on the fly using JS and 
CSS.  It could say <cat> and be made to woof like a dog through the magic 
of simply overriding everything and assuming all responsibility 
for managing the suppression of the cat behaviors and coding all 
of the canine ones.
