IE-induced WTF
-
I wouldn't necessarily say that this is a real IE WTF, but the code I had to write for it sure is.
function onload_func(){
document.getElementById('some_multiselect_box').selectedIndex = document.getElementById('some_multiselect_box').selectedIndex;
}
When a page loads, IE won't scroll a multiple-select box to the initially selected item (Firefox does). Changing the selected item, though, scrolls the box to the correct place.

Why not just specify the selected item in the source? No javascript required.

Read the last part again. Also note that there is no previous Javascript setting the selected element, only the HTML source.
