Re: [Wtr-general] Select the first item in a list
Tiffany, I don't believe 'select' is a valid action on a select list (ironically enough).

Re: [Wtr-general] Select the first item in a list
We use select in our tests. It's a method in the Watir::SelectList class. As usual, there is more than one way to solve the task.

Re: [Wtr-general] Select the first item in a list
Thanks so much for the quick reply and suggestion! Unfortunately, it didn't work - no error was generated from the command, but it didn't select a value in the list either. I could see the field highlighted in yellow as watir 'touched' it, but no value was selected. -Tiffany ___ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
Re: [Wtr-general] Select the first item in a list
I would double-check the name of the value. If that is correct, try 1)
using a regex, 2) try accessing it in IRB, or 3) use an exists? or
selected?, in no particular order.
Similar to Adam, I access mine as ie.select_list(:id, 'list2').select('name
of value'). Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Jason

Re: [Wtr-general] Select the first item in a list
This may be a little kludgy but worth a try. You will have to make the
object names what are in you page...
list_one = []
list_one = $ie.select_list( :name, 'list1').getAllContents
# Get the contents of the first selectlist and randomly select one
cnt = rand(list_one.length)
# If there is a placeholder item at the topmost selectlist position
bypass it
next if #{list_one} == (-- Select One --)
$ie.selectBox( :name, 'list1').select(#{list_one[cnt]})
# Wait for the selected item and until next selectlist is populated
Sleep 1
list_one = nil
# Get the contents of the second selectlist and randomly select one
list_two = []
list_two = $ie.select_list( :name, 'list2').getAllContents
cnt = rand(list_two.length)
# If there is a placeholder item at the topmost selectlist position
bypass it
next if #{list_two} == (-- Select One --)
$ie.selectBox( :name, 'list2').select(#{list_two[cnt]})
# Wait for the selected item and until next selectlist is populated
Sleep 1
list_two = nil
# Get the contents of the third selectlist and randomly select one
list_three = []
list_three = $ie.select_list( :name, 'list3').getAllContents
cnt = rand(list_three.length)
# If there is a placeholder item at the topmost selectlist position
bypass it
next if #{list_three} == (-- Select One --)
$ie.selectBox( :name, 'list3').select(#{list_three[cnt]})
list_three = nil
Hope this helps,

Re: [Wtr-general] Select the first item in a list
I guess the options in a select list should really be array-like: ie.select_list(:id, 'whatever').select_first ie.select_list(:id, 'whatever').select_last ie.select_list(:id, 'whatever').select[3] # select the 3 or 4th, ( 1 or 0 indexing) Paul - Original Message - From: Tiffany Fodor [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: wtr-general@rubyforge.org Sent: Friday, June 22, 2007 3:09 PM Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Select the first item in a list Yippee - it worked!
