Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer
Further investigation reveals that the tag parses <option value="" label="Select"></option> and not <option value="" label="Select">Select</option>. As such, in FF at least, the particular option appears blank.

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer
Thinking about it again… The fact that the Select word does not appear might be a good thing as it acts as a visual prompt that no selection was made for that field.
Another small and insignificant thing. The plugin version appears to still be 4.6

Hmmm, this is what I see:
Granted I’ve just tweaked the code to fix the ‘selected’ thing but even so, on FF Mac it shows the label fine and did with yesterday’s code too.

Indeed I see the same in the source code
The difference between yesterday and today is that the Select text was also visible on the front end yesterday. This is what I see today
which is fine!

Browsers must react differently then to the label attribute. On my FF 77(!) for Mac, it renders the label in the dropdown. Yesterday’s code didn’t use label, it had the text hard-coded into the <option> container. I’m easy with whichever version delivers the sanest, most cross-browser and accessible-friendly result.
I’ll take guidance on what that actually is!

If I am not wrong (as I have not tested that particular combo right now) that display issue, as seen by Colak, is an –old!– bug in Firefox that could be fixed in the latest release, and thus why Stef sees it correctly. I will check later to make sure.

yes, this is the issue; bug 40545 is fixed in Firefox 77. Please light a small candle… the bug was only 20 years old.

I was doing some research and had a lot of tabs organised so, for about 10 days now, I did not restart or updated it as I did not want to disturb the state/content of my tabs. I think I was running FF76 FF75 Mac. Last night I switched off my computer for the first time, and this morning FF auto updated…

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer
With the ext_file_attach plugin, is there a way to display a more user friendly error message if the file is too large? For example:
From
[Filename] must not exceed 5242880
to
[Filename] must not exceed 5MB
or
[Filename] is too large, and must not exceed 5MB
Thanks.

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer
After hitting two separate errors on two plugins which use the deprecated EvalElse function I decided to check my other active plugins and found that the function is also used on com_connect return parse(EvalElse($thing, $cond));. Should this be updated to return parse($thing, $cond);?
