           Summary: dropdown doesn't load automatically on selecting
                    previous option
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525.x (Safari 3.1)
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://lehigh.bncollege.com/webapp/wcs/stores.......
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jasneet at chromium.org

I Steps:
1. Go to http://lehigh.bncollege.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TBWizardView?
catalogId=10001&storeId=13051&langId=-1&level=1
2. Go to "Step 1: Find Your Course"
3. Select a semester

II Issue:
The dropdown list of "select department" doesn't immediately load. The user
needs to click outside of the dropdown list for the selection to be registered
and the next dropdown to load.

III Conclusion:
The time when "onclick" event is triggered is different between Firefox/IE and 
Chrome/Safari, this is the cause of this issue. Lets separate the selecting
dropdown operation into 2 periods:

1. Click the dropdown, dropdown options get expanded.
2. Choose an option

In IE/Firefox, "onclick" event is triggered after step 2, however in
Chrome/Safari, the "onclick" event is triggered before step 2 and after step 1.
In other words, when the "onclick" event is triggered in Chrome/Safari, the
value of dropdown is not changed by user yet, this is the issue.

As a result, in webkit, in the attached testcase the "onclick" event cannot
display the selected value below the dropdown, this can only be done by the
"onblur" event. However in Firefox/IE, everything is done by the "onclick"
event.

IV Other Browsers:
IE7: ok
FF3: ok
