Description

Error details:

. min 1.4.4

. select boxes with lots of options

. IE only

. when inside dialog, only

The error is a javascript loop error like when we click on select to expand the options. IE ask us to stop the the loop script and select never drops dow. But we can navigate on select with arroy keys, so, select is design but we can not drop it dow.

We have the same problem here since we upgraded from 1.4.2 to 1.4.4. It is related to this issue : #7341

When you use jQuery dialog, it uses jquery.ui.mouse.js which in turn calls add() in the following code :

elIsCancel = (typeof this.options.cancel == "string" ? $(event.target).parents().add(event.target).filter(this.options.cancel).length : false);

And when you have <select> with lot of options (like we do), it slows down IE to the point that it is unusable. It works with no problems in other browsers since sortOrder implementation is different.

This sounds more like a bug in jQuery UI. You should file the bug on the jQuery UI Bug Tracker and include the following related links
