Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 126379

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[t1t2t3t4]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050710 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050710 Firefox/1.0+

The page www.maersk-air.com has a booking module on the rigth side. 

The dropdown list does not raise the onchange event by pressing the leading
charqacter in one of the options in the list before the onchange event has been
activated with the mouse once. 
If the onchange event has been activated with the mouse, then the onchange event
occurs everytime as it is supposed to, even with pressing the leading character
in the options.

It's is a bug ... fix it! please

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enter www.maersk-air.com in the address bar and press enter
2. Set focus on the first dropdown using the mouse.
3. Press D -> Denmark is selected.
Actual Results:  
The onchange event for the select box did not occurr, and hence the second
dropdown did not populate as it is supposed to do.

Expected Results:  
The onchange event should occurr causing my javascript to populate the second
dropdown.

This might be a variation of bug no. 126379

That's bug 126379.

I'm not experiencing this with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O;
en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050807 Firefox/1.0+.  Instead, when I use the keyboard
to select an item, onChange doesn't seem to fire until I move focus (regardless
of whether I've used the mouse to select an item previously).  How are you
determining that the onChange event has occurred?  I'm determining it by looking
at whether selecting "Select Departure Country" grays the second dropdown.
