I see this with Mozilla 2001062204 on Win2k. I added a javascript alert to body
onload="alert(document.getElementsByTagName('SELECT')[0].selectedIndex)" and it
returns the correct value of 6. Perhaps the collection isn't initialized or the
selection isn't made until the page loads?

Guys,
This bug sounds pretty important to me.
There are tons of websites which rely on selectedIndex value to redirect to
appropriate page. or to submit approriate selected value.
Examples are like www.carpoint.com

It seems this is only a problem while the page is loading. I don't know how
many sites would use the value of a select in inline script code. I'd expect it
to be rare. After load, it's fine, so submits should work correctly.

Similar to these bugs:
bug 89425 "JavaScript select on multiple select box is malfunctioning"
In certain circumstances, not possible to set this via JavaScript:
document.formA.selectA[i].selected = true;
Which in turn has been suggested as a duplicate of:
bug 86659 "Alteration of select widget by JavaScript broken"
> In Mozilla 0.9.1+ the ability for JavaScript to change the selected item in a
> select form widget is broken. The referenced URL is a simplified test of this
> bug which works under NS 4.7 and Moz 0.9.1 but is broken under Moz 0.9.1+
> When you click the button on the page, "Item 2" (which is form.sel.option[2])
> should become the selected option, but instead form.sel.option[0] is selected,
> the default.

Is this exact construct heavily used in the web at large? Using the testcase,
it does show that the answer is only wrong while the page is loading. That
seems to limit the exposure significantly (and isn't terribly different from
every other client with flaky behavior before the page is loaded - 4.x was
horrible in this regard.)
My impression is that Johnny has his hands full already, is anyone else
available to look at this? I can't really even consider it for PDT+ without a
patch.

This is due to the selected index not being set until the frame is loaded. It
is fixed in the patch for bug 34297. Adding dependency.
Depends on: 34297
