Interesting website.
I think if you view the generated source for the website you will find
that the "family" <SELECT...> group does not have any <OPTION> elements.
That is what would probably be expected given your question.
<select name="family" multiple="multiple" size="7"
onchange="changeFamilyBox('family', 'species')" id="familyBox"
class="selectboxStrains">
</select>
However, the manual page for <setSelectField...>
http://webtest.canoo.com/webtest/manual/setSelectField.html
might be a bit ambiguous in distinguishing between setting a selection
(making a value active in a <SELECT> group) and adding a new <OPTION> to
the <SELECT> group <OPTION>s. I read the manual page to say that
<setSelectField...> is selecting an <OPTION> rather than adding a new
<OPTION> to the list.
I am not sure that Webtest has a step that will allow the types of
things usually done with
object = document.getElementByID(...)
and then setting the new HTML using
object.innerHTML = newHTMLStuff
You might have to add a new taskdef to accomplish adding an <OPTION> if
that is what is really desired. You do not get an error on the first of
the two <setSelectField...> because that <OPTION> exists and can be
selected.

selectField
For exampel, in this url:
http://www.biohealthbase.org/GSearch/influenza_surveillanceRecord_search
.do?method=ShowCleanSearch&decorator=influenza
I try to select Host order = Anseriformes; family =
Anatidae (Waterfowl) and run the search. The test
script is like this:
<setSelectField name="order" text="Anseriformes"/>
<setSelectField name="family" text="Anatidae
(Waterfowl)"/>
<clickButton label="Go"/>
but got error no option element found with text
"Anatidae (Waterfowl)".
thanks,
