Ehhh, no. It's not expected behaviour.

The fix is very easy and it's all depending on a javascript bug. On line
43 in function TestDeletion you do an assignment (one =) in the if
statement instead of an equality check (two ==)

Change the line to

if (document.forms[f].WhatToDo.selectedIndex == 4)

and it should work as expected
