4410 - ignoring 'onChange' in <SELECT>

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 3322

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P3)

Description

[pete.nelson]

I tried out raptor today - and was quite impressed!  One problem I saw was on
our homepage [ http://www.ci.saint-paul.mn.us ] which uses <SELECT> menus:

<SELECT name="url"
onChange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_top')">
<option value="/mayor/">
About Saint Paul
<option value="/mayor/">
Mayor's Page
<option value="/mayor/stateofcity99.html">
State of the City
...
</SELECT>

The 'onSelect' didn't work.  We also use a 'Go' button to call 'navigate.cgi'
for older browsers, or browsers without javascript.  When I pressed the 'Go'
button, it took me to the CGI, redirected me to the right page, but, it didn't
replace the history, so hitting 'Back' on raptor gets me stuck at the CGI.

This is the DOM, not JS.

Eric, I believe the onchange() problem is yours.

Yup.  This is a dup of bug 3322.
