Bug Description

Test case:

Go to http://juju.ubuntu.com/survey and do the survey, dropdowns don't work. Tested on an N7 and N10.

We would like to use the touch preview during the openstack summit to gather information from ubuntu survey users, we'd like to do that using Ubuntu Touch!

(Info coming, my battery died)

It appears the QML webview exposes a hook to provide a custom component to handle <select> dropdowns.
All we need to do on the browser side is to provide such a custom component. I’m looking into it.

The branch linked fixes the issue by providing a custom itemSelector component. This works well with static <select> elements (see e.g. http://mdn.mozillademos.org/en-US/docs/HTML/Element/optgroup$samples/Example?revision=344959).

However I’m seeing another interesting issue now: when selecting an item in a dropdown on http://juju.ubuntu.com/survey, this seems to trigger a reload of the page that crashes the web process. This is a separate issue though, so I’ll file another bug to track it.

The issue reported above is still valid though: when selecting an option off a dropdown at http://juju.ubuntu.com/survey, the web process crashes. I’m investigating this one.

Should we do a release to have this available at our images or should
we wait you to fix the other bug?

I’d like to give a shot at fixing the other issue first. If I can’t figure it out by the end of the day, I’ll do a release.
