The following content gives the correct value for the alert when run under the
4.5 browser but it gives "undefined" in 5.0. This bug is currently blocking
some of the wallet work.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT>
title_frame = 0;
list_frame = 1;
function load(){
top.frames[list_frame].document.open();
top.frames[list_frame].document.write(
"<FORM name=fSelectFillin>" +
"<TABLE>" +
"<TR>" +
"<TD>" +
"<SELECT>" +
"<OPTION VALUE=\"X\"> Y </OPTION>" +
"</SELECT><BR>" +
"</TD>" +
"</TR>" +
"</TABLE>" +
"</FORM>"
);
alert(top.frames[list_frame].document.fSelectFillin[0]);
};
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET ROWS = 25,* onLoad=load()>
<FRAME SRC=about:blank
NAME=title_frame
SCROLLING=NO
MARGINWIDTH=1
MARGINHEIGHT=1
NORESIZE>
<FRAME SRC=about:blank
NAME=list_frame
SCROLLING=AUTO
MARGINWIDTH=0
MARGINHEIGHT=0
NORESIZE>
</FRAMESET>
<NOFRAMES>
<BODY> <P> </BODY>
</NOFRAMES>
</HTML>

This is almost certainly in the DOM, not JavaScript.

Eric Pollmann is the right guy for DOM forms related bugs. Eric, Steve Morse is
blocked by this bug.

I'm confused as to what this javascript is supposed to do.
I'll assume that "top.frames[list_frame].document.fSelectFillin[0]" is supposed
to return the first element in the form fSelectFillin, the select element.
Again, according to the DOM spec, you can not index directly into a form element
to access it's children. If, for example, you want to access the select element
you should try this:
top.frames[list_frame].document.fSelectFillin.elements[0]
This works for both 4.5 and 5.0 - is this an acceptable solution for this
problem?

It's an acceptable work-around forme and I am no longer blocked on this one.
But it is not an acceptable solution. Since this was valid in 4.5, there may be
content out on the web that is using it and they will suddenly break when we
roll out 5.0.

I agree.
At a minimum, we should accept this syntax when in compatibility mode. Marking
this a compatibilty bug.

Moving to DOM Level 0 component. Move to DOM Level 1 if that is more correct.

Hm, my fix works for me... I just attached the original test case. You should
see "[object HTMLSelectElement]" dumped to the console when this page is
loaded. Also check out the "reduced test case", which should have a text
element reading "Bar" - also works for me.
If you are still unable to reproduce the this, can you please me detailed info
on what you are seeing? Thanks!
