Looks like some sort of problem with the JS that sets up the form...maybe
IE-specific DOM.

Why does it work fine from Konqueror then??

Comment 3

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Becuse Konqueror implements a number of IE things, including document.all

Choess, please do not confirm bugs like this without a testcase (a bug should
never be confirmed if it's qawanted, really).

Additional info:

If you click on the Size drop down and change it from 5/8 back to size the color
selections become available.

If the page is saved before changing the Size to be SIZE, the form appears as this:

<select class="fine" onchange="buildProductOptions(this.name,
this.selectedIndex, this.options[this.selectedIndex].text, 2 - 1)"
name="/cabelas/commerce/CabelasProductFormHandler.productBean.choiceCode2"><option
value=" " selected="selected">COLOR</option></select>

However, after changing to size and saving the page, this is the form:

<select class="fine" onchange="buildProductOptions(this.name,
this.selectedIndex, this.options[this.selectedIndex].text, 2 - 1)"
name="/cabelas/commerce/CabelasProductFormHandler.productBean.choiceCode2"><option
value=" " selected="selected">COLOR</option><option value="021">FIRETIGER
</option><option value="061">TENN SHAD </option><option value="074">SILVER FLASH
</option><option value="244">APPLE RED CRAWDAD </option><option
value="387">BENGAL FIRETIGER </option><option value="418">BROWN CRAWDAD
</option><option value="875">BABY BASS/ORG BELLY </option><option
value="891">BLACK SCALE </option></select><input
name="_D:/cabelas/commerce/CabelasProductFormHandler.productBean.choiceCode2"
value=" " type="hidden">

The colors work after changing the size, the question is *why* I suppose.

Saving the page (not changing anything in the form) and then changing the Size
has no effect on the Color dropdown, the colors remain inaccessable. Part of the
JavaScript maybe? I will attach the JavaScript as a txt file (all but 3
externally linked JS files, which seem to deal with cookies?)

Attachment: JavaScript used on the page

JavaScript used by the page (except for 3 externally linked JS files)

Comment 7

[Andrew Schultz]

the problem is that the page has a SELECT option of " 5/8  OZ" (two spaces
between "8" and "OZ".  Then it looks for that option text from javascript.  But
Mozilla collapses the two spaces into one, and so the javasript never finds it.

Assuming that's correct behavior, this is Tech Evang, but moving to parser (form
controls?) for now.

The HTML5 parser doesn't collapse white space.
