I have to use a forum in the BSCW-platform. It is a platform open only to members, so I cannot give a URL to it. When I use the BSCW with Firefox, all pop-up-menues are displayed properly, when using Safari, all menue-items are displayed as "undefined".

Could you please provide us with the source code of the page. The best way is opening the page with FireFox and choose "Save As". Upload this as a .zip archive in an attachment. If there is private information on the page you can filter that out ofcourse.

Created attachment 12277 [details] proposed fix The problem here was that a local variable "item" got shadowed by Node::item within a "with" block. AFAICT, there is no reason to have this method on Node. "Gecko DOM reference" cited in code comment is probably <http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:element.item>, which specifically states that "despite this article's name, item() is not a method of DOM Element or Node." The included test passes in Firefox 2 and IE 6.
Comment on attachment 12277 [details] proposed fix Looks good. Would you please add the item function to HTMLSelectElement.idl/h/cpp instead of adding it to kjs_html.h/cpp?
(In reply to comment #6) > Would you please add the item function to HTMLSelectElement.idl/h/cpp instead > of adding it to kjs_html.h/cpp? HTMLSelectElement JS bindings are not generated from IDL (yet?), so I guess this code has to go to kjs_html. I'm not sure if we need this method in ObjC binding, its standards status seems somewhat unclear.
(In reply to comment #7) > HTMLSelectElement JS bindings are not generated from IDL (yet?), so I guess > this code has to go to kjs_html. OK. Argh. Well, I'd still like HTMLSelectElement.h/cpp to have the code, even if the binding is old-style. I marked the patch review+, though. > I'm not sure if we need this method in ObjC binding, its standards status seems somewhat unclear. Putting methods in ObjC at one time was based on what was in the W3C standard, but nowadays we'd like the ObjC binding to be as close as possible to what's available through JavaScript. And the system automatically keeps new calls SPI, so there's no problem with Apple API policy.
Created attachment 12302 [details] proposed fix Added item() to DOM and ObjC binding, too. Not sure if it should be marked const in DOM. It returns a non-const pointer to object data, so it probably shouldn't, but is marked const in NodeList, for example.
