20875 - Unexpected handling of SELECT/OPTION Javascript interface

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 16879

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

Description

[pawsa]

Look at the given URL and note following:

1. Field subsection does not respond to user actions.

2. Field subsubsection has no options at all under Netscape (expected behavior)

but Mozilla's javascript does not remove the initial value.

I will take a look at this tomorrow

In an attempt to get my bug list in order again, marking all the bugs I have
currently as ASSIGNED.

Comment 3

[pawsa]

I have prepared another, slightly simpler test for you:
http://www.theochem.kth.se/~pawsa/mozilla1.html
It seems that options array of the select object is not treated as an ordinary
array i.e. one cannot truncate it by assigning a value to options.length.
setting array elements to null seems to remove them but I would not call it
as a pretty solution.

Removing wip+rods, I can't help with this, I can't figure out where the array
element is getting set to null.

Comment 5

[pawsa]

I hope this is not some kind of misunderstanding: the example with setting the
elements to null was on
http://www.theochem.kth.se/~pawsa/mozilla1.html
Note the number `1' in the file name.

Attachment: The shortest sensible test case I could find.

Bulk moving [testcase] code to new testcase keyword. Sorry for the spam!

Comment 8

[vidur (gone)]

Sorry for the runaround on this one. Passing along to Pollmann, since he has the 
bulk of SELECT/OPTION issues on his list.
