Once you have the contents of the selectbox as an array, you can get the length of the array and set a loop to iterate the same amount of times. Each time you loop you just get the next value of the array based on it's index and use the value to select an item from the select box.
Sorry I can't give you any example code but the approach should work.
I had a similar problem, a set of dropdowns whose values are determined by whatever is previously selected in the preceding dropdown. Mine happened to be in a new window that was popped up but the principle is the same. What I needed to do was look at the 'View Source' for the page and determine what the potential values were for a given selection, and then code my example accordingly.
E.g. For dropdown A, if I select A1 then the possible options fro dropdown B are B1, B2, B3, etc. And if B2 is selected from dropdown B then the possible values for dropdown C are C4, C5, C7, etc. and so on.
Here is the code I used...
cw = IE.attach(:title, /PER Causal Code Management/i)
cw.selectBox(:index, 1).select(/A1/)
cw.selectBox(:index, 3).select(/B1/)
cw.selectBox(:index, 12).select(/C01/)
cw.button(:caption,"Add Causal Codes").click
cw.button("Close Window").click
A matrix for this would be pretty ugly for more than 3 dropdown with many values each, but it might save some time in the long run to do it.
It would look something like this:
A1
B1
C1
C4
C5
B3
C2
C7
B5
C3
C6
C8
A2
B2
C9
C10
B4
C11
C12
Hope this helps answer your question.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Is there a way to select items in the select listbased on their position?
Hi,
Is there a way to select items in the select list based on their position?
one way is:
ie.select_list(:name,"NAME").select_value(/2/)
Since the items in the select list are added dynamically based on the selection in the previous Select list, its value is not known priorly.So I am not able to do that way..
I want to write a test case such that in the first iteration, first item in the list is selected, in the second iteration second item is selected and so on.
Thanks in advance,
Amitha..
