Comment 1 Simon Pieters 2011-08-04 09:12:36 UTC 
let's say you have <select></select> and do select[1] = option;
length is 0, index is 1, n is 1
n is not greater than 1, and it's not zero, so per spec it does nothing
the spec is wrong in another way too
it says to append n new option elements, but it should append n-1 new option elements and then append value
