Popover directive doesn't fire ng-clicks from template in Safari

[sethflowers]

I have a popover using a template. Inside the template is a single element containing an ng-click that executes a function on the scope doing nothing but firing an alert. In other browsers, this works fine. In Safari 8.1 on El Capitan, nothing happens.

<button type="button" class="btn btn-default"
  popover-placement="bottom"
  popover-template="'template.html'">Click for Popover</button>

<script type="text/ng-template" id="template.html">
  <a href="" ng-click="fireAlert()">Click for alert</a>
</script>

I'm using angular 1.4.5, and angular-ui-bootstrap 0.13.4.

The following plunk can be used to test: http://plnkr.co/edit/ZDdiKt1VvQVAwxwblwvW?p=preview

Closing as duplicate of #3687. @sethflowers, don't use a <button> is a temporary workaround. You can see the comment thread in the linked issue.

Sorry. I missed that you posted comments in #3687. Any reason you opened a new issue? What did I miss here?

[sethflowers]

@icfantv This isn't the same issue as #3687.

In the plunk, clicking on the button correctly opens the popover, but inside the popover, there is a link with an ng-click, which does nothing. This works in other browsers, but not safari.

[icfantv]

Ok. Please try with just href and not href="".

I don't think that matters, I originally was trying it with a div with ng-click which didn't work either. I think the plunk just ended up with an anchor.

That Plunker (without my previous comment) is working for me on Safari 8.0.7 on OSX 10.4 and 10.5. I don't have access to El Capitan or Safari 8.1.

@icfantv - Hmmm... this might be a false alarm. I'm testing in saucelabs because I don't have access to the hardware either, and it seems its just not opening the alert in Safari. I changed the method on the scope to just increment a count and it looks like that is happening. Sorry for the false alarm :/

No worries, thanks for taking the time to assist debugging.
