While working on my personal project this weekend (a girl’s got to have some fun sometimes), I discovered a rather peculiar behavior in a few different browsers I was testing my program with. I had a dropdown that I was setting a preselected value dynamically using Javascript using the setAttribute method.

I might lament that IE6 is still around after 9 years and IE’s Javascript engine is just much much slower than the other browsers , but sometimes I still marvel at the ways it makes me work hard for my dough.
