User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 This bug was posted earlier for the winXP version of Firefox1.0, but I have found that the windows version WORKS and the OS X version DOES NOT. When building a <select> form element with PHP's print() function, Firefox seems to ignore the "selected" property within the subsequent <option> tags. It simply defaults to the first <option> in the list. I was not able to reproduce this error in the Win XP version of Firefox. IE also displays the page correctly. It seems to be specific to the OS X version. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Execute the following PHP script: <select name="mySelect"> <?php print("<option value=\"somevalue\">value 1</option>"); print("<option value=\"othervalue\" selected>value 2</option>"); ?> </select> Actual Results: "value 1" will be selected on page load instead of "value 2" Expected Results: "value 2" should be selected as per the "selected" property in the second <option> tag.
Could I suggest that you establish a scrupulously exact recipe (and include a complete testcase) to be sure that you are not seeing a Dup of Bug 46845 "Form elements don't reset upon manually reloading page"?
On mac os x 10.4.1, firefox 1.0.2, reproduce this bug by hitting reload with this example web page: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="content-type"> <title>Test Selected on Reload</title> </head> <body> <select> <option>first</option> <option selected>second</option> <option>third</option> </select> </body> </html>
Attached file Reporter's Testcase
1. Open Page => shows 'second' 2. Select 'first' 3. Reload shows 'second', subsequent reloads alternate between 'first' and 'second' A shift reload takes up back to 'second' (as expected). This behaviour is an exact match of Bug 294258 "Reload clears form values, incorrectly", and this report is therefore a Dup of either that bug or (more resaonably) Bug 46845 "Form elements don't reset upon manually reloading page"
