7230 - Option groups do not honor the label attribute

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[Kevin McCluskey (gone)]

This is similar to bug #3325 except it applies to option groups instead of
options.

Option groups do not honor the label attribute. The only way a label can be set
is by specifying it as content.

This does not work

<SELECT>
  <OPTGROUP label="group1">
  </OPTGROUP>
</SELECT>

The following does work:

<SELECT>
  <OPTGROUP>group1
  </OPTGROUP>
</SELECT>

Erm, this works for me, both on the test case above and on my own:
