<body>

<form name="f" id="f">

                  document.f.s[document.f.s.length-1].selected = true; 

                  for (var c=document.f.s.length-1; c >-1;c--) 
                    alert (c + ' is selected ? ' +  document.f.s[c].selected);

The reduced testcase is trying to select the topmost option in the 
selectbox. This works in NN4.7, but not in Mozilla 20010628xx.


If we remove these three lines of code: 

                  document.f.s.length += 1; 
                  var len = document.f.s.length;
                  document.f.s[len - 1].text = 'Option ' + (len -1);


Then the selection of the topmost option works just fine: 

                  document.f.s[0].selected = true;


Somehow the first three lines are preventing the fourth line from working.

again the same bug about selected = true, probably a dup of bug 86659

This is WFM on 0.9.4 and 2001092113 Linux.  The first option gets selected after
the last option is added.
