Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Larry Stewart]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.5.21022; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Any ASP.NET DropDownList that is databound does not get selected value. The browser is producing a postback on the control before the value is obtained. Example: When a user selects an item and the page postsback to the server, the DropDownList is rebound before getting the selected value. The results is always the first item in the list. I posted an example page so you can test it in both IE and Firefox. The example shows both a databound and none databound listbox. It works fine in IE. This could be a potential catastrophic issue as more and more application move to the web. Bad data from this issue could be detrimental and frustrating to users and businesses.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select item in databound dropdownlist
2.item select will always be the first item in the list due to postback issue
3.
