Any workaround for a FF2 event dispatching bug?

Hi

If Firefox 2 is set to remember the form field values and a value for an
input field is selected from the list of previously entered values,
Orbeon does not recognize the change in the value. Actually, FF2 does
not dispatch the onchange event [1]. Have you found any workaround for
this issue?

We also have a bug for this one:

http://forge.objectweb.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=307929&group_id=168&atid=350207

I don't think we have spent any significant amount of time
investigating this one, so let us know if you care to give it a shot
and find a solution. And thank you for the reference to the Firefox
bug. I have added the link to our bug description.

If I'm not mistaken, you are talking about the same bug as me a few months ago. The only work around I have came up was to use xxforms:autocomplete="off"... but of course it would be really great if I didn't have to do this :(

Right, that's one way to get around this. Since our onchange event
handler isn't called, we could maybe, just for Firefox, check if the
value has changed when the control looses the focus, and if it did
sent a value-changed event.

That's enough, thanks a lot! Hopefully the Mozilla guys have this issued
fixed soon...

Hi Alex,

The problem still exists in FF 2.0.0.20 and it's been fixed in FF 3.0, but we would like to support users with FF 2. Can I count on some workaround with this problem? For example the one you were writing about?

Best regards,

Emil

Emil,

Have you tried xxforms:autocomplete="off" on xforms:input? With recent
builds, we have also added support for this on xforms:secret.

Emil,

Are you asking whether we will continue to support
xxforms:autocomplete="off"? If this is the case, then the answer is
yes; we don't have any plan to remove this feature.
