Hi

In case when there is drop down arrow, the elements are set using text_field sometimes.
Please try this option also.

e.g. $ie.text_field(:name,'').set('')

Hi

I did fire a javascript event that will set the focus in the drop down
list:

$b.table(:index, 1)[2][6].fire_event("onmousedown")

When the above line is executed it does not display the drop but it is
focused. When I do either of the following:


 $b.select_list(:index, 2).select("Test")
 $b.select_list(:index, 2).set("Test")

It does not select the link. I have to somehow click on the drop down
arrow again in order to populate the drop down list. This is the same
behavior when selecting a value in the drop down list manually.

Thanks

Hi!

You have a typo in your select statement:

$b.select_list(:index, 2).select_list("Test")

should be:

$b.select_list(:index, 2).select("Test")  (although, I think
$b.select_list(:index, 2).set("Test") should work as well)

Have you tried firing your javascript to put focus on the field just
before attempting the select statement?

Hope this helps!

I need to click on a drop down.  I have a script that will set the
focus in the drop down list then when I go to select the value it does
not select the list. Manually: When I click in the drop down field it
gets activated then when I click on the drop down arrow it will
display the list.
Interaction: When I click in the cell it sets the focus, then I have to click on
the drop down arrow in order to see the list of options. If I do:
$b.table(:index, 1)[2][6].fire_event("onmousedown") The above will set the focus in the field that contains the drop down.
Manually I have click on the drop down in order to see the list
If I do: $b.select_list(:index, 2).select_list("Test") It does not click on Test. Is there any way I can click on the drop
down in order to see the list..
