Description

When you attach a link component to some other element that <A>, fast clicking on the element causes usually errors.

This issue can be demonstrated for example by creating link on table cell with html code:
...
<tr>
<td wicket:id="alink"
style="width: 100px; height: 100px; background-color: red;">alink</td>
</tr>
...

and Java code:
...
add(new Link("alink") {
public void onClick()

{ setResponsePage(TestPage.class); }

;
});
...

Now if you for example double-click the link you will probably get HTTP 404 or some other error.

I think that the problem is caused by the onclick event processing and relative urls.

For example by double-clicking a link, two onclick events are fired. First event sets the window.location.href to correct address appending the relative url "ExamplePage/param1/val1" to current url. Second event appends the "ExamplePage/param1/val1" again and now the resultant address is incorrect "ExamplePage/param1/val1/ExamplePage/param1/val1".
