This snippet show the issue on FF3/Mac. select_list on craigslist
seems to be invisible. FWIW, Selenium IDE can address the select_list
with no problem
#CAN'T ADDRESS BY INDEX
@browser.select_list(:index,1).set("software jobs")
#CAN'T ADDRESS BY ID
@browser.select_list(:id,"cAbb").set("software jobs")
#CAN'T SET THE select_list VIA 'value=foo'
@browser.select_list(:id,"cAbb").set("sof")
FireWatir generates no error for any of these calls.
Try to print out html for that select_list to make sure that you are
really dealing with the correct select_list and there aren't any
hidden ones or whatsoever. Or try just plain old .flash method to see
if correct list is flashing :)

The issue is not that the select_list element is invisible - you can
address it correctly as show by calling:
@browser.select_lists
or
@browser.select_list(:id, 'cAbb')
Calling the "methods" method on the element reveals that the "set"
method you are calling is not present. I was surprised to see that
this method exists - I've always used the "select" method, which works
fine. The RDoc reveals that set should be an alias for select.
I would suggest using the select method for the time being:
@browser.select_list(:id,"cAbb").select("software jobs")
However, if you wish to use the set method, add the following code to
your firewatir/htmlelements.rb file in the SelectList class beneath
the select method's definition:
alias :set :select

Alex, thanks very much. I should have thought of some of that
myself-- it has been some time since I've worked closely with Watir.
Seems like I should have gotten a NoMethodError trying what I did, but
I'm glad that there *is* a right method.
there is some functionality in firewatir ( at least the version that I had
been using) that doesnt generate exceptions when there is a javascript
exception. Id fixed this some where once ( probably in a local copy of
firewatir) , but I guess the code got lost

Agree with this. I had a quick look but my trivial catch-all patch breaks various tests. I'll have a look tomorrow at fitting this into element.rb's method_missing call.

I checked this morning - this is already fixed in the firewatir on GitHub in Bret's Watir repository.
