86429 - [xpcdom] Cannot set custom JS properties on <select> field objects.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Jason Johnston]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.1+)
Gecko/20010618
BuildID:    2001061804

Applies to builds post-0.9 (0.9 worked correctly):

It is not possible to set custom properties of an HTML <select> field object, ie. 
document.formName.selectName.customProperty="string";
An uncaught exception error is thrown in the JS console.

Setting custom properties on other types of fields works correctly.

Testcase will be attached.

Sounds like an xpcdom problem.... Seeing this on Linux with 2001-06-17-21 as well.
