Status: NEW

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Martin Mueller]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b10) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b10) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b10

The "SELECT"-Tags containing some information about the current state of a project. By choosing a different "OPTION", a ajax-call is triggered and done.

The page reloads every 10 seconds, because if another client changes a value the new value should be shown in the "SELECT"-Tag.

The example works in WebKit-Browerses and in IE8 (<8 not testet) - it doesnt work in FF 3.6 and 4b10.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open two different browser (FF and i.e. Safari)
2. Load the page in both browser
3. change the value of one in safari
4. switch to FF and wait max 10 seconds to reload the page automaticly
Actual Results:  
The new value isnt shown in the SELECT-Box

Expected Results:  
The new value should be shown in the SELECT-Box after the reload
