Bhavesh,
Did you find the solution to your problem?
To access the sub-menu use the hot key for the select tool in IE Dev Toolbar
When you have drilled down as far as you need to and/or want to go, hit
CTRL+B (make sure your dev tool bar is open) this will bring up that blue
box and let you select the item to find its applicable tags embedded in the
HTML.
Then as RJ is stating you will have to use "fire_event". What makes that
sub-menu drill down is some type of event which is triggered with the
cursor hovers over so it has to be simululated by firing that event during
your script, or your script will likely fail because the event is being
fired, so the simulated mouse is clicking on empty space.
Please let me know if that helped and/or if you have a question about it. I
can try to help further.
