Some drop down menus not active in PM

[parpfish II]

Hi all,

I've noticed one or two websites whose drop down menu options don't respond on Pale Moon (latest version) - these menus do work on Opera. I've tested this in safe mode and no change.

Be interesting if someone can reproduce this (I'm on PM x64 portable):

- Go here: https://www.alpinetrek.co.uk/outdoor-jackets/
- See the " Sorting Most popular v " (drop down)
- Click on "Most Popular" (to activate the drop down) and select "Best Discount" from the drop down menu
- Nothing happens (no change to the sort and just a dead menu).

In latest Opera it works fine (sorts according to option selected).

Here's their code:

Code: Select all

<select id="listorderby" name="listorderby" style="display: none;">
<option value="">Most popular</option>
<option value="oxvarminprice asc" data-ga-event="list_locator, sort_by_Lowest price, position_top,undefined,bfNonInteraction">Lowest price</option>
<option value="oxvarminprice desc" data-ga-event="list_locator, sort_by_Highest price, position_top,undefined,bfNonInteraction">Highest price</option>
<option value="bfdiscountpercent desc" data-ga-event="list_locator, sort_by_Best discount, position_top,undefined,bfNonInteraction">Best discount</option>
<option value="oxrating desc" data-ga-event="list_locator, sort_by_Top ratings, position_top,undefined,bfNonInteraction">Top ratings</option>
<option value="oxtitle asc" data-ga-event="list_locator, sort_by_Brand, position_top,undefined,bfNonInteraction">Brand</option>
<option value="oxinsert desc" data-ga-event="list_locator, sort_by_Newest on top, position_top,undefined,bfNonInteraction">Newest on top</option>
</select>

My Pale Moon setup:

Name Pale Moon
Version 27.5.1
Build ID 20171007103905
Update History
Update Channel default
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:52.9) Gecko/20100101 Goanna/3.3 Firefox/52.9 PaleMoon/27.5.1
OS Windows_NT 6.1
Safe Mode true

Hope that helps - I assume the bug is with AlpineTrek, but who knows.

I have no idea why but I was able to successfully click on the "Best discount" drop-down link and get that page:

but only that one time, all subsequent attempts fail (do nothing) when attempting to use the drop-down list.

Works as expected for me using Native mode.

EDIT: as above, works one time only, puzzling.

^ I'm using "native" mode as well.... for some reason works one-time as stated.... (clearing cookies, clearing cache, refreshing page etc, does not help).

Just tested again and at least you got it to work first time - for me, not at all.
Win 7 x64 Ultimate - doubt that's anything to do with it.
Possibly due to portable versus proper install?

I have no idea. What I do know is that page never seems to load completely -- lots of marketing tracking and stuff by the looks of it.

Interesting that it works okay in Opera. Anyone use firefox, chrome?

EDIT: It's a JS issue, but I have no idea what PM is doing differently from Opera.

.... Interesting that it works okay in Opera. Anyone use firefox, chrome?....

I can confirm the drop-down choices do work in Opera as you say.... FWIW the drop-down choices also work in Chrome, in FF could not even get the page itself to load enough to where I could try the drop-down choices (refresh didn't help either) and the drop-down choices do not work at all in IE11 (same result as you get in PM).

Off-topic:
While it is absolutely unthinkable to even consider swapping PM for either of the two browsers that the drop-downs do work on, it's worth noting that Opera and Chrome both use the same Blink engine

[parpfish II]

Yeah I like PM and I like the fact that it strictly adheres to the standards. I use the Browser View Plus add-on to open problematic sites in Opera from PM - but it would be good to find out if this is a PM bug or just dodgy scripts by AlpineTrek - there's certainly loads of stuff going on loading their pages (much of it unnecessary marketing crap I imagine).

Throws an error in Browser Console:

Code: Select all

TypeError: document.body.append is not a function

You try the latest unstable version (it works for me), see also Issue #1411.

It works in the latest Cyberfox and in Fx 57.
In PM I get the same inability to select from the list.
