In script, options can be created with their selected attr set to true and added to a combobox or a single selection list and the options remain selected. this is wrong and invalid

Why is it marked future? http://gs.spylog.ru/main.phtml?stat_id=1 (compare the month in mozilla and any other browser) is most used counter in Russia and when such a things are displayed not correctly people won't use such a product!!!
we will re-evaluate it.
Many thanks for your report! Yes, this is a bug, it's unfortunate, and we will fix this for a future release. However, there's a very simple workaround: (1) First of all, scripts should not be written to select multiple items in a single select listbox or one with size=1. If they do, they have a bug and should be corrected. (2) If end users click on a single item, it alone will be selected and they can use the form. Unfortunately Netscape engineering is overburdened and we lack the time to fix bugs of this relatively low severity for the first release. Confirming Future.
Summary: mulitple items can be selected in select size=1 or in single select listbox → multiple items can be selected in select size=1 or in single select listbox
This bug covers both creating selects with mulitple options selected when only one should be: 1) dynamically via script 2) having more than one <option selected> in a select It is true that the page referenced in the URL has two options with selected on them.

Attached file yet another test case (deleted) —
Posted "yet another test case" because in this case, IE does something different from Nav 4.x I'm not sure which is correct, but Nav will leave the first option selected while IE wil leave the last option selected if there are more than one.
