1128721 - disable <option> on <select> element

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::System::Input Mgmt, defect)

Description

[Luigui Delyer]

Attachment: ss_select.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.10; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0
Build ID: 20150122214805

Steps to reproduce:

I try disable one item on my <select>[1] element with this code
<option disabled>-------------</option> 
and
<option disabled='disabled'>-------------</option>

[1]https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/select


Actual results:

Nothing. 
Gaia continues accepting this option like a valid option, I can select it... In the browser it's impossible...


Expected results:

I guess that <option> cannot be selectable... 

I tested this and found this 'bug' on my Alcatel One Touch Fire running Firefox OS 'Boot2Gecko 1.3.0.0-prerelease'

Sorry if i put this bug on the wrong place, it's my first bug here.

All the best.

Value selector, maybe input mgmt stuff.

Hi Luigui,

Are you interested in contributing? We would need to investigate if System app receives enough information to tell the option should disable, if not, we would have to patch Input Method API too. Both of these stuff are written in JS.

Assigned. You'll need to learn how to run your own Gaia build on a B2G device of Desktop.

https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia

After that, with the stated STR, probe the System app value selector to see if it's getting the enough information to tell which option is disabled. If so, let's ask for UX input and reflect that information on the control. If not, we would need to patch Gecko so that input method API could pass the information.

Please needinfo me on the specifics if you are stuck on any of the steps.

i am bit confused in running my own Gaia build 
should i follow these steps:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developing_Gaia/Different_ways_to_run_Gaia#B2G_Desktop

or these

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Building_the_B2G_desktop_client

don't know the diffrence b/w the two.

There are many Gecko builds that could run Gaia, and you don't need to build and of them.

I would recommend you to run Gaia with Firefox Mulet, which can be downloaded here:
