12683 - onchange events in dropdown boxes not occurring properly

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

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

Description

[beaunose]

Nike.com's navigation (which I built) relies on the javascript onchange event to move users about the site (there's servlet to run the navigation if javascript is turned off).  The current behavior is such that when the value in the dropdown box changes, nothing happens instead of the browser being sent to a new page by a change in the location.href value.  The browser only notices the change only if focus is brought back to the dropdown box a second time.

PS. if this bug gets fixed or noticed, could you point me to where in the code I might be able to make changes to stuff like this?

Reassigning to the DOM level 0 component.

(Beau - you might try an lxr (http://lxr.mozilla.org) search for onChange or
OnChange.)

janc can verify.

beau, for your future reference:

Pollmann, you want to make the final call, dupe or not?

In fact, this bug is now be fixed, as GFX Selects are the default.  I tested
with todays build and it works as expected.

The only platform/preference combination that doesn't work is Windows/Native
widgets.
