[Forms] Selection change by type-ahead doesn't fire 'change' event

[Kent Tamura]

How to reproduce:
1. Open data:text/html,<script>c=0;</script><select autofocus onchange="c++;document.getElementById('console').innerHTML='onchange: '+c"><option>abc<option>def</select><div id=console></div>
2. Type 'd'.  The option 'def' is selected.

Expected:
3. 'onchange: 1' message is shown.

Actual:
3. Nothing happens.


This is very similar to Bug 74384.

Put HTML+SCRIPT into jsfiddle.net. See URL field.

The code change looks ok.

We should show what is tested.  The bug number is not useful.

You don't need to make these function if you use ../../js/resources/js-test-pre.js.
or, they can be removed if we have <div id="res">FAIL</div> initially and recordIt() changes the content to 'PASS'.

I think recording the control value is not necessary.  .innerText = 'PASS' is enough.

> LayoutTests/fast/forms/select/menulist-type-ahead-find.html:37
> +    if (!window.layoutTestController)
> +        return;

It would be nice if we show a manual test instruction.
This test shows 'Type "c" To see "cherry"' for now. We had better explain the expected result too.

I think these expectEq() are unnecessary.  The type-ahead feature is tested in other test files.

> LayoutTests/fast/forms/select/menulist-type-ahead-find.html:31
> +    expectEq("PASS", res.innerText);

This is not needed.  The test result contains 'PASS' in "res" element.

Please show the purpose of the test.  The bug number is not useful.

I don't think this is needed. 'PASS' for this is already shown as a dump of <div id="res">

Variable "res" is not needed.
You might want to remove "sel" too.

Reopen, because it was rolled out.

[Hajime Morrita]

Rolling out at http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/103050
due to a test failure on Chromium Windows:

- fast/forms/select-script-onchange.html

Result:
----
Test for http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23721 Changing dropdown's selectedIndex within onchange handler fires another onchange.


FAILURE: onchange(2) called 2 times.

This select changes on focus: should not fire onchange.  
This select changes on change: should only fire onchange once.  
This select is changed by a timeout in the test script. It should not fire onchange.

Hi Adam,

I would like to remove onchange event for Enter key for Windows because of this change makes type ahead fires onchange event and fix for BUG-74384 fires onchange for Up/Down key.

So, hitting Enter key fires additional onchange event. It seems Enter key behavior is introduced by
http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/16977

Is it OK to remove this Enter key behavior?

Thanks.

Here is code for firing onchange:

HTMLSelectElement::menuListDefaultEventHandler

#if SPACE_OR_RETURN_POP_MENU
... GTK
#elif ARROW_KEYS_POP_MENU
... Mac
#else
        int listIndex = optionToListIndex(selectedIndex());
        if (keyCode == '\r') {
            // listIndex should already be selected, but this will fire the onchange handler.
            selectOption(listToOptionIndex(listIndex), DeselectOtherOptions | DispatchChangeEvent | UserDriven);
            handled = true;
        }
#endif

Why is this a desirable change to make? (I'm not saying it's undesirable, just that no evidence is shown in favor of the change in this bug or the attached patches.) For instance, if the new behavior matches other browsers, that would be one reason it is a desirable change. This information should go in both the bug and your ChangeLog entry.

We have some user-reported bugs. e.g.
  http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=90447  Issue 90447: select onchange not working by cursor key selection

Cursor key selection and type-ahead selection change HTMLSelectElement::value, but don't dispatch 'change' events.  This behavior looks a bug for web developers, and IE and Opera fire 'change' events immediately in this case.

Thanks for the info. Knowing that IE, Opera, and Firefox (according to the Chromium bug) all have this behavior makes a strong case for WebKit having it, too!

You should mention Firefox and Opera too, and version numbers if you know them.
