Clicking "Add comment to this bug" reloads the page then jumps to the top

This affects Safari (so possibly also konquerer).

The new javascript generates an <a href="#"> element and attaches a click event handler. The end of the handler cancels the event (to prevent the link being followed) with this code:

    // cancel the default action of the event
    if (evt.preventDefault) {
        evt.preventDefault();
    } else {
        evt.returnValue = false;
    }

The first branch works with browsers supporting DOM 2 events. The second is fallback for internet explorer.

Matthew: could you try the attached patch with Safari? This alternative version uses the traditional method of hooking up events, rather than the DOM 2 events API (or IE events API).

I've tested this patch with Firefox and IE6. If it works with Safari too, then I'll commit.

Brad reports that the patch corrects the problem when using "Safari 2.0.2 (416.13)", so this updated code should work with the major browsers.
