IE HTML 4.01 Specification Bug?

Posted in Software,TechNotes by Rami on the April 25th, 2005

While developing the new WiFi system I think I found a bug. Apperntly IE is not following the HTML specifications. In the OPTION tag for a SELECT you don’t really need to specify value as it is implied and uses the content of the OPTION tag (link) but IE requires the value if you want to use the value in a JavaScript. Spent a whole hour to find that out! Lesson learned: Always use value in the OPTION tag.

    “Apperntly IE is not following the HTML specifications.”

    Since when ANY browser supported the W3C HTML specifications.
