I have to say that I stumbled on this bug with a loop like this:
function add_attr_multiple()
{
var attr = document.getElementById('attribute_group');
var length = attr.length || 0;
for (var i = 0; i < length; ++i)
{
elem = attr.options[i];
if (elem.selected)
{
// Do stuff...
}
}
}
And if the selected elements are at the end of the list, they are never reached because 'length' is 45, but attr.options is much longer (because of duplicates) so 'i' is not high enough to access those elements. This happens with the Web Inspector closed.</pre>
