Bug 15235 – Options can not be removed from a Select element with OptGroup's using JavaScript

• Component: Forms
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[diovieno@perseus..com]

If you have a select element as follows

<select name="S1" id="S1">
    <optgroup label="Group 1">
      <option value="1">Option 1</option>
      <option value="2">Option 2</option>
      <option value="3">Option 3</option>
      <option value="4">Option 4</option>
    </optgroup>
    <optgroup label="Group 2">
      <option value="5">Option 5</option>
      <option value="6">Option 6</option>
      <option value="7">Option 7</option>
      <option value="8">Option 8</option>
      <option value="9">Option 9</option>
    </optgroup>
</select>

And attempt to use JavaScript to remove an option from the list

var list = document.getElementById("S1");
list.options[3] = null;
or
list.remove(3);

The item is not removed from the list.
No errors appear in the JavaScript Console.

If the select element does not contain optgroup's, the JavaScript works correctly.

This fixes it and doesn't regress otherwise :)

Does this need a radar?
