337139 - select1, hooking up a send to ev:xforms-select only works the first time

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

If I hook up a send to an xforms-select on a xforms:select1, it only triggers the submission the first time. On subsequent selects I get this error:

Error: elm.parentNode has no properties
Source File: chrome://xforms/content/select1.xml
Line: 942

Possibly a dupe of 332292?

Aparently the selected element does not always have a parent node? Checking for that makes the dispatchEvent() work.

It does not fix the testcase 100%, because the xforms-select event is sent before the node value is changed, so the result gotten from the server is "lagging". But it might be correct event sequencing? Dunno.

ugh, you really should figure out why elm has no parentNode - you probably have a reference to an element no longer in the DOM.

Check is ok for a temp fix though (0.6)
