Description Cameron McCormack 2011-06-03 00:31:23 UTC 
HTMLOptionElement for the index getter and object for the name getter.
Comment 1 brunoais 2011-06-17 08:00:03 UTC 
What do you mean? Can you be more specific? Give more info?
Comment 2 Cameron McCormack 2011-06-17 22:33:13 UTC 
I mean: the index getter on HTMLSelectElement should be defined to return HTMLOptionElement, and the name getter on that interface should be defined to return object.
Comment 3 Michael[tm] Smith 2011-08-04 05:16:30 UTC 
mass-move component to LC1
Comment 4 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-08-15 04:09:11 UTC 
Note that namedItem is not a name getter on HTMLSelectElement.

Anyway, I've changed this to be consistent with HTMLOptionsElement.
