The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 1.5, on platform(s):
-
Microsoft Internet Information Server 1.0
SYMPTOMS
Internet Explorer version 1.5 for Microsoft Windows NT from Internet
Information Server (IIS) version 1.0 does not select the pre-selected item
of an option list in an HTML form until you click the Reset button.
MORE INFORMATION
You can reproduce the behavior with the following form:
<FORM ACTION="/scripts/args.cmd" METHOD="GET"><BR>
Choose an item: <A NAME="item_list"></A>
<SELECT MULTIPLE NAME="item">
<OPTION SELECTED VALUE="Item1">Item 1
<OPTION VALUE="Item2">Item 2
<OPTION VALUE="Item3">Item 3
<OPTION VALUE="Item4">Item 4
<OPTION VALUE="Item5">Item 5
<OPTION VALUE="Item6">Item 6
</SELECT>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Submit">
<INPUT TYPE=RESET VALUE="Reset"><BR>
</FORM>
Notice that the first option of the Select list is selected and should be
selected. When the page with the form is loaded using Internet Explorer
version 1.5 for Windows NT, no list items are selected.
- Click the submit button. The following URL is created:
http://server/scripts/args.cmd?
- Click the Back button for Internet Explorer to get back to the page
containing the form.
- Click the Reset button on the form. Now the first item in the list
is selected like it should be.
- Click the Submit button. The following URL is created:
http://server/scripts/args.cmd?item=Item1
- Go back and click the Reload button of the browser. As a result, the
default item in the list is no longer selected.
