51361 - Exception on read/write "selected" property of hidden listbox

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[achilles]

Javascript exception occurs when accessing (reading or writing) 
pListBox.options[i].selected, where pListBox is a reference to a 
multiple-selection listbox, which is inserted into hidden <div> or <table> 
(hidden provided by style="display:none"):

<div id="l_testdiv" style="position:relative;display:none">
<select name="sel_test1" size=5 multiple>
	<option>a</option>
	<option>b</option>
</select>
</div>

On the given web page if everything hoes ok, user sees three consecutive alert 
boxes. If read operation fails, then user sees only the first alert box.
Please, open the javascript console then.
This example works on both IE4.xx and IE5.xx. It works also in Netscape 4.xx,
though it cannot hide div or table by using style="display:none".
