Description Sebastian Celis 2006-08-17 13:39:06 PDT
In certain circumstances, it seems as though
selectObj.add(optionObj, selectObj.options[0]);
does not actually add optionObj to the beginning of the select object.

From my testing, it looks as if this bug only occurs if the selectObj is created dynamically using document.createElement("select");

The first time the "add" method is called, it works fine.  On subsequent calls, the <option> objects are placed at lower positions in the <select> list.  It is as if selectObj.options[0] is not updated to return the correct object after the "add" is performed.  This is confirmed by calling alert(selectObj.options[0].value); after each call to the "add" method.

This issue is not present in WebKit 4.19.3.

I am attaching a test case reduction which demonstrates the issue.

In the layout test, there is a lastOption and a middleOption, but no firstOption.  Would it make more sense to rename middleOption to firstOption?

Reset the options collection info for non-in-document <select>s

Might want a comment indicating why it's not needed for selects that are in the document.

Or ... could just not both with the if statement since there's no harm in resetting the collection twice.
