Bug 159058 – Regression: HTMLOptionsCollection's named properties have precedence over indexed properties

• Component: DOM
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[David Gasperoni]

When reading the options property of a <select> with 'multiple' property, the collection may have duplicate elements in it, resulting in the collection having more elements than 'length'.

The bug is present in Safari TP Release 7, in WebKit r202375, but is not present in Safari 9.1.1

Do you have a small reproduction case by any chance?

Testcase with steps to reproduce

I copy-pasted directly from the page where I experienced this behaviour, which is breaking JS code a loop (the value of attribute 'length' is smaller than the amount of elements in the 'options' array).

To test, proceed as following:

1. Open file.
2. Open Web Inspector.
3. Select the <select> tag in the page.
4. Type $0.length in the Console // results 45
5. Type $0.options and expand the HTMLOptionsCollection in the Console.

You'll see a list of 92 elements. (see screenshot here: http://cl.ly/1s232B3L1s2Y)

So it seems it is just the WebInpector output that is confusing:
select.options.length is 45
select.length is 45

However if you display select.options in WebInspector you see more.

I'll try and figure out why this happens. I am also CC'ing a few WebInspector people.

[Chris Dumez]

for (var a in $0.options) console.log(a);

Also only enumerate 45 items (+ the operations on HTMLOptionsCollection), as expected.

I have to say that I stumbled on this bug with a loop like this:

function add_attr_multiple()
{
	var attr = document.getElementById('attribute_group');
	var length = attr.length || 0;

	for (var i = 0; i < length; ++i)
	{
		elem = attr.options[i];
		if (elem.selected)
		{
			// Do stuff...
		}
	}
}

And if the selected elements are at the end of the list, they are never reached because 'length' is 45, but attr.options is much longer (because of duplicates) so 'i' is not high enough to access those elements. This happens with the Web Inspector closed.

[Chris Dumez]

This issue is likely related to the name of the options being numbers. The duplicates come from the fact that some options are returned by the indexed property getter and others come from the named property getter.

[Chris Dumez]

I believe I found the bug, I will work on fixing this ASAP.

[Chris Dumez]

Note that the WebInspector still seems a bit confused with my fix. However, the HTMLOptionsCollection now no longer contains duplicates and indexed properties correctly take precedence over named properties.

That's awesome! I'll keep an eye out. ;)

[David Gasperoni]

I tried with r202481, and it works correctly as expected. The only oddity is that listing the contents of .options also reports many undefined elements (just like you reported in #10 ) even though .options.length is the correct amount.

Yes, we should file a separate bug about this and set WebInspector as component.

The inspector issue is because we use Object.getOwnPropertyNames on an array-like object with length less then 100. That said, I think we can remove that constraint, I think it was from an earlier time.

See bug 159192 for handling this edge case better in Web Inspector.
