Firefox Select-list & dreaded "XX" in drop down

[Richard Maher]

Hi,

Sorry to ask what is probably a very old issue with Firefox and select-lists
but for the life of me I can't seem to stop the dreaded "XX" mysteriously
appearing in an "empty" select list.

Try as I may with limiting event listeners and wittling down the
functionality to almost nill, I just can't seem to locate the reason for
this dodgy "XX" :-(

Please, please help if it rings a bell! I've tried standards-based
list.add(new Option("blah",b"),null) rather than array[plusOne]=new Option

I've used .remove(index) instead of length =-1

I've stopped shallow clones as my event listeners disappear so this is all
very missionary position

and *still* the XX comes :-( Line 1 characters 1 and 2 (or 0 and 1) mocking
me relentlessly!

Cheers Richard Maher

What version of FF are you testing?

It has nothing to do with any of that. Googling for "FF XX select
javascript" turned this up:-

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382600

But that report claims it was fixed years ago. Personally, I've never
run into this bug at all.

Hi David,

What version of FF are you testing?

Sorry for not inclusing it FF 2.0.0.4 RV 1.8.1.4

As I said it's quite old.

Bingo! Thanks again.
