20179 - GET request incorrect: default value of combobox not sent

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[gadreau]

When submitting a form (method=GET), the default value of a combobox is not
sent. However, if you click in the combobox and then submit, then the GET is
done correctly.

An example is available at: http://63.193.243.48/ (click on "View" for a photo
gallery).

The source code is:

<form method="get" action="/cgi-bin/gallery" >
  <select name="name">
    <option value="bretagne">Bretagne</option>
    <option value="westus">American West</option>
    <option value="gallery1">La Provence</option>
    <option value="gallery2">California</option>
  </select>
  <input type="submit" value="View">
</form>

works for me (with native scrollbar) if this is a problem with GFX scrollbars
turned on then it is a duplicate of 19376, marking works for me.

I forgot to add some information about the test environment: I have done the
test with M11, Linux and Windows. If you go to the link provided, and on the
right click in Photo Galleries, click on "View", (without doing anything
else) you will go to:
http://63.193.243.48/cgi-bin/gallery?
but you should go to:
http://63.193.243.48/cgi-bin/gallery?name=bretagne

If you select something in the combobox, it works then, and you will go to the
right URL.

Maybe it was fixed between M11 and your version ?
