24724 - selectname.length = 0 does not clear select (combo box)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 16879

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

Description

[Randall Knutson]

I checked with Mozilla build 2000012008 and previous version and none of them
would clear the select box when the javascript command "selectname.length = 0"
is issued. It works with netscape 4.7 and IE.  Go to
www.concentric.net/~dknutson/  where I have posted the code with which I
discovered the bug.  When the checkbox is checked the contents of the select
should be 1,2,3 and when unchecked it should be A,B,C,D.  When checked it is
1,2,3,D.  The D is hanging around when there shouldn't be one

Thanks for posting the excellent test page.

Reassigning to Document Object Model component, where such behaviors are
implemented.
