[TYPO3-core] FYI: Fixed bug #7877: htmlArea RTE block style feature raises javascript errors in IE6

[Stanislas Rolland]

FYI: The attached SVN patch was committed.

Type:
Bugfix

Problem:
The errors make the RTE unusuable in IE6 when the block style feature is 
enabled. Some of the errors are caused by a timing problem: trying to 
delete options while IE6 has not finished creating the last ones in an 
obviously asynchronous fashion. Apparently, our PC's have become too 
fast for IE6.

Solution:
Workaround IE6 synchronicity bug by changing the technique for removing 
options when the browser is IE. Avoid use of innerHTML property on 
select options (unavailable/buggy in IE6). Avoid use of reserved words 
as variable names.
