As an end-user, I have no way of telling whether the problem is a result of a
badly coded page or simply a bug with Firefox. So I decided to log a bug anyway.

Visit this URL: http://www.prudential.com.sg/corporate_sg/index.jsp

In the "Quick Select" box at the right hand side of this page, you will see a
scroll list titles "find what you want fast!" together with a "Go" button. In
IE, selecting any item of the scroll list and clicking the "Go" button would
result in a Popup window displaying the relevant information. In Firefox, this
simple does not work. Absolutely nothing happens after clicking the "Go" button.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.prudential.com.sg/corporate_sg/index.jsp
2. At the "Quick Select" box at the right side of this page, select anything
from the scroll list and click the "Go" button.


Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
Open a window displaying the requested information, as seen using IE.

http://www.prudential.com.sg/corporate_sg/js/quickselector.js tries to access a
form control in the global namespace:
onclick="location.href=mydirlevel+quickselect.value"
