Simple HTML here. Maybe one of you can tell me why firefox is breaking everything.
Somehow, it seems that Firefox handles <select multiple> in a different and unknown way from what Opera and Konqueror do, and different from the W3C standard. This simplified test page validates, and works in Opera and Konqueror (presumably IE too), but in Firefox it doesn't pre-select the selected options and when you make a selection in one of the boxes it undoes your selection in the other box: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html><head><title>Test</title></head>
<body>
<form action="">
Box 1:<br>
<select multiple size="5" name="parsecodelinks[]">
<option value="title">title</option>
<option value="url">url</option>
<option value="description" selected>description</option>
<option value="email">email</option>
</select>
<br>Box 2:<br>
<select multiple size="5" name="parsecodecategories[]">
<option value="name">name</option>
<option value="description" selected>description</option>
<option value="custom">custom</option>
<option value="moderators">moderators</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Any ideas? Couldn't find anything relevant in google. Using Firefox 3 here. Do you get the same bad behavior in Firefox 2?
The result of this problem is that if you edit your settings in Firefox you lose all your code, smilie, required field etc selections. |
