Hi All, What is the recommended way in WebTest to check the content of a select list on a page?
As an example I have the list appended below (you can see it at https://flightbookings.airnewzealand.co.nz/isbook_en_NZ/book/initSearchForFlights.do) and I need to check that the correct elements appear. It will always default to the same selected value so checking for the literal HTML below would work, but I can not figure out how to do this - it seems a bit beefy for verifyText although I can make it work for the first line but am not sure it can handle the full list? I am having problems with having to escape characters. Note that the example given on http://webtest.canoo.com/webtest/manual/verifyText.html which looks like this: <verifyText description="Checks for the existence of HTML body tags" text="<BODY>.*</BODY>" regex="true" /> fails with: BUILD FAILED C:\WebTest\doc\ISIS\buildTest.xml:35: The following error occurred while executing this line: C:\WebTest\doc\ISIS\testTest.xml:12: The value of attribute "text" associated with an element type "verifyText" must not contain the '<' character. so that doesn't help much! I realise I could use verifySelectField to check the currently selected option, and I could use verifyXPath probably to count the number of options, but neither of those is what I want. I could also perhaps use verifyElementText but I've not managed to get even a single line validated with this. I would appreciate any advise. regards, John <select name="searchLegs[0].originPoint" onchange="the_fare_finder.changeInPoints();" style="width:140px;" class="dps"><option value="">select a
