OK, this is terrible. Can you look into this Jerome?
Is there alternative JS we can use to do the same thing that might keep IE happy? Or require ENTER to be hit. Otherwise, perhaps we can add a better delay or something. The good thing is that most of this type of menus are all done in one small function: popup_form(). Jerome, can we aim to have a patch here for this by tomorrow?
I attached a patch + a javascript file that you need to put it into /lib/
Note: in order to navigate into a dropdown list without this patch, use ATL+Arrow Thanks. The patch will also work on 1.8 stable?
Hi Andrea, I did exactly the same changed on 1.8 and it works as well.
Fantastic Jerome, thanks. Should we expect it on CVS by next Tuesday ?
I optimized the patch and javascript file. (the javascript code is now called only once, and I added some comments in the javascript file)
The 'dropdown.js' javascript file has still to be put in /lib/ I tested these new modifications on 1.8, it works. Getting there, thanks, Jerome!
One more thing. Is it possible to perhaps avoid all that JS running on Firefox at all, by putting the browser check in weblib.php using PHP. So if it's not IE or Opera, then we just do it exactly like the old way which works fine. Patch and javascript file updated. PHP is doing the browser checking now. Tested on 1.9 and 1.8.
That's the one, thanks Jerome!
ok, commited on trunk, 1.9 Stable and 1.8 Stable
Thanks, great fix! Just to be sure, is this fix working when javascript is disabled ?
Tested 1.8 and 1.9 with IE6. Andrea, thanks for reporting and Jerome, thanks for fixing
 David/Laia - I'm not sure what the usability issue here is other than to encourage cross-browser compatibility. As a rule, Moodle has done well in following coding standards and then goes in and makes patches when IE (or any other browser) deviates from the standards. I can't think of anything that Laia would need to do with these types of issues as they are really browser bugs rather than Moodle UI issues. If Laia wanted she could come up with a list of the various types of user interfaces that users use and where they use them. For example, dropdown boxes, menus, tabs, pushbuttons, etc. Having some research about where such things are used might be of some use and may reveal some inconsistencies. My theory is the more data we have the better. Then it is just transforming that data to meaningful/useful information. Peace - Anthony
