Using 2000-03-17-16 build from beta1 branch Go to http://www.sony.com There are two comboboxes on the page Click on the Quick Link combobox Nothing happens Works fine in 4.72 Not sure if "event handling" is the right component for this. cc'ing rickg to help assign to the right person.
The page uses lots of layers which it activates and deactivates. Since it's not DOM compliant, a lot of things get broken. I suspect that there's a DIV with visibility: hidden on top of that combobox. Bug 29057 and bug 31340 may be related.
Okay. Well as far as I can tell the event handling here is correct. The problem is in the layout. I'm going to attach a couple of test cases that will illustrate my point. The first is a reduced test case showing the problem. The second is the same test case but with the transparent table cells colored red which shows that they're being painted on top of the non-working form elements.

sony's html is wrong. each combobox is being partially or fully covered by the div that follows it. The div is taller than the combobox and covers it. The div is correctly getting the events. If sony were to place the divs before the comboboxes it would work alright.

Ok, but it works fine in IE5 and Nav4.

Accepting M18 to evangelize Sony. I'm assuming that we don't have the resources to consider implementing a quirk for this--nor do I see evidence that this would be widespread enough to justify a quirk.
