245450 - no styles given to an option contained in a select with a specified attribute of a particular value

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 245449

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040514

I'm not sure that this is a bug so much as an inconsistency (see fix).
Option inherits style when specifying that it's contained in a select with a
specific size. For example:
option { color: blue }
select[size=1] option { color: green }
All options in a select of size 1 will be blue (or rather the text in them will
be). However:
input { background: none }
input[type=submit] { background: purple }
All submit buttons will have a purple background.

This also let me see a different *real* bug which is that the UA ignores all
elements after the first if it's not able to apply the style (not sure if that
was clear). For example:
* { color: green }
select[size=1] option, optgroup { color: black }
All optgroups will be green (again: what I mean is green text :-) ).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an HTML document with a form and style associated with all SELECT
elements.
2. Add a style for OPTIONs contained within each select of a specific size.
3. Make sure that the attribute's value is not in quotes.

Actual Results:  
The specified options will inherit, if possible, or go to the default style for
that element.

Expected Results:  
It should have given the applicable elements specified styles.

Fix:
select[size="1"] option { ... } instead of select[size=1] option { ... }
