ComboBox: dropdown autocomplete problem with firefox 3.0.7

[daoud175]

this was working on firefox 3.0.5 but stopped working when updated to firefox 3.0.7.

if I use <script type="text/javascript" src="./include/dojo/dojo/dojo.xd.js" djConfig="parseOnLoad: true"></script>

I have a dropdown for country names with autocomplete on.

when I start typing the first letter it finds and selects the first occurance in the list, but does not highlight the rest of the letters in the country name. so when I type the second letter it adds it to the full name of the first country selected. in other words, let's say I want united states: when I type 'U', it picks UGANDA, if I type 'n' it adds the n at the end of UGANDA, like UGANDAn. in IE it selects UGANDA but keeps the GANDA selected, so when I type 'n' it replaces it and works fine.

if tried to use the dojo.js instead of dojo.xd.js file instead: if I use <script type="text/javascript" src="./include/dojo/dojo/dojo.js" djConfig="parseOnLoad: true"></script>

in this one, the selection part works fine and I pick the country I need, but if I click using the mouse on the dropdown arrow to view the values, it picks automatically a different country than the one selected (before I choose anything). I noticed that the country selected will be the last one in the visible portion of the list after it opens. I feel it's doing the open list event, but also select item event at the same time when we click the arrow.

what is the difference between dojo.js and dojo.xd.js anyway? which one should we use?

dojo.xd.js is located on edge servers at Google or AOL. The idea is that you don't have to put dojo onto your server. Client's web browsers can load index.html from your server but download dojo code directly from those google/AOL servers. No idea why you are seeing a difference between dojo.xd and dojo, they should work exactly the same.

Anyway, can you attach a test case using the "Attach file" button? Does this problem happen on test_ComboBox.html for you? Is this on PC or mac?

I'm going to close this until we get a test case.
