       While surfing to the following page:

 

      <HTML>

      <HEAD> 

      </HEAD> 

 

      <BODY>

      <FORM METHOD=POST  id=myForm>

         <select name="countrySelect" class="dropdown">

            <option  selected=true>-UK-</option>

            <option>-USA-</option>

            <option>-Israel-</option>

         </select>

      <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

      <!--

      // Unlucky assignment..... 

        document.forms[0].countrySelect.options[1].selected="true"  

      //-->

      </SCRIPT>

      </FORM>

      </BODY>

      </HTML>

 

            The error message thrown by the exception ("Could not convert true 
to boolean") 

We would have expected an assign to true for each attempt of non-null string 
assignment into the boolean variable, and false - otherwise. This behavior is 
supported by IE.

Marking as invalid:

According to LiveConnect3,
http://www.mozilla.org/js/liveconnect/lc3_method_overloading.html, section
3.3.4, it is not possible to convert string to boolean when calling Java
methods. Since Rhino implements the specs fully, its behavior if one relies on
LiveConnect to get DOM implementation from Java one is correct.

I would suggest to file an enhancement report to add API to Rhino to override
LC3 rules if necessary.
