Thanks John and Pip, unfortunately there are some things going on behind the scenes that make use of that idea not possible under these circumstances. I am however interested in checking for the existence of a specific item within a select field using xPath and think that I will go down that route. Thanks again to all that contributed their opinions / suggestions.
