Description:
------------
Use of hierselect with numeric options causes it to cease functioning when you choose another option.

Firefox JavaScript console reports "indexOf is not a function"

Fix: Convert the numeric options to strings before processing.

Test script:
---------------
Patch:
-------------------------------------------------------------
for (i in optionList) {
+ var option = String(optionList[i]);
- var optionText = (-1 == optionList[i].indexOf('&'))? optionList[i]: _hs_unescapeEntities(optionList[i]);
+ var optionText = (-1 == option.indexOf('&'))? option: _hs_unescapeEntities(option);
ctl.options[j++] = new Option(optionText, i, false, false);
}
