I am unable to use the arrow keys or numbers to select from a drop down list that is populated by other fields.

I have 3 drop down lists of numbers. If the first drop down list has 30 selected and the second has 50 selected, the third will display 30, 40, and 50, which is populated when the second drop down list is selected. However in firefox, when I tab to the third drop down list, I am not able to type or use the arrow keys to make my selection. In order for it to work, I have to shift tab away from the third drop down list and tab back to it, and it works fine. I am using version 24.0 of Firefox.

Is the page that has this problem online? If so, could you post a URL to it?

If not, could you create a small test case demonstrating the problem? If you don't have hosting for that, you can paste the page's source on Pastebin or set up a page on jsfiddle.

No, sorry this is a private site. It will take some time before I could create a test case therefore, I will try and do some more debugging on my end, before I do that.

Thanks for your reply
