104726 - Form field pull-down problem (Javascript)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 100511

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[dgk]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011011
BuildID:    2001101117

This happens on a member-only page, so I will attach the HTML source rather than
give out username and password.

The pull-down for selected dates doesn't work, in that the item selected doesn't
appear in the field. (Note: other pull down fields do work).

This functionality works under Netscape 4.78.

I note from the page source that these pull-downs are implemented via
Javascript, which is what I think the problem is.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Open attached HTML source.

jkeiser, this is a dup of that "<script> in <select>" bug that's fixed on your
branch, right?

I just tested this with Netscape 6.1, and it works as it should.

Here is a sample of the HTML:

<select name="month1">                              
  <script>
    document.write("<option value=''>month</option>");

                   ETC.
                   ETC.


This is exactly the problem reported in bug 100511,
"Impossible to make a selection in a comboBox (script, document.write)"

Reassigning to HTML Form Controls -

Summarizing: the problem is caused by <SELECT>'s having <OPTION>'s
that are document.written. This is bug 100511.
