158905 - LINK screws up select events

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 156430

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Neal Lowrey]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)
BuildID:    

loading a stylesheet with link such as 

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="bstyling.css">

renders the page correctly but causes problems with javascript and event 
firing. 

for example the page contains a form with a dropdown which has multiple items.

<select name="pvgroup" style="width:100%" size="1" onclick="top.setpvlist()" 
style="width:100%">

i create the page in javascript and write it out to a frame.

trying to set the selectIndex fails.

frmctl.document.datactl.pvgroup.selectedIndex = 1;

->Form controls, unless there's a reason you think style data are computed
incorrectly.

You're trying to access the frame's DOM before it is built, since the sheet load
blocks DOM construction.  You may want to move that code to the frame's onload
handler...
