From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.2+) Gecko/20010714 BuildID: 20011071408 I noticed some very strange behaviour when working with javascript generated pulldown menu's. Depending on the syntax it results in an empty option (not in the source, but in the browser) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See Additional information. It includes source Expected Results: It shouldn't show up this extra option first I tried this: <form> <select> <script> for (something){ doument.writeln("<option value=''>some text</option>"); } </script> </select> </form> This doesn't works in Mozilla and netscape 4.7, but results in one extar option (an empty one) when viewed with mozilla. Then I tried this: <form> <script> document.writeln("<select>"); for (something){ doument.writeln("<option value=''>some text</option>"); } </script> </select> </form> This results in a good pulldown (eg no extra options) in Mozilla, but fails to show up at all in Netscape 4.7. I finally chose to do create the pulldown code in PHP, this does fix it, but was a hell of a lot extra effort.

->form controls

tested on build id : 20010723 -- window2000 see attached testcase. changing status to ==> New

I just tried, it also goes wrong with "multiple" selects on 1 line and "multiple" selects over more than 1 line.

I have the same problem with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011012 and Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011011 The empty option is present always, additionally if I create <select> tag using HMTL the other options are not selectable.

That would be bug 100511

jkeiser, this is fixed on the branch, right?

Nut still not in the latest nightly. Just checked the testcase, still wrong

Yeah, extra blank options are fixed with bug 34297 patch. Setting dependent. Thanks!

test after 34297 is checked in

Fixed with bug 34297 landing.

verified fixed on win2000 buildID: 2001-11-08-06-trunk macOS 9.1 buildID: 2001-11-08-08-trunk
