In a browser, all three links in the index.html will fire when clicked.

In the supplied ZombieJS test, only the first one (a direct bind) will actually fire. The other two will have their clickLink callbacks executed within Node but they won't actually fire their browser callbacks (i.e. the only console.log statement to appear is that of the first link).
