"Relevant code snippet is worth a thousand screen shots" a wise man would say.

You still did not say what is the problem.

What did you try? Did you try this?

browser.frame(how, what).select_list(how, what).set(something)

find the attached .rb file which will help you to understand how to deal with select_list. Else give us the screen shot I will try to send you the piece of code

[Chuck van der Linden]

I doubt that code sample will help much. That's great for actual
HTML selection list elements, but he's dealing with 'rad' controls
which are javascript driven controls that emulate the normal HTML
selection list, but add other functionality (like a 'prompt' value
that's in the control space to start with, but is not once of the
choices in the list)

For these kind of controls it's all about using either the developer
toolbar, or firebug to identify what elements have been rendered into
the dom (or modified and moved or made visible) by the javascript, and
then 'activate' them using standard methods like click (which fires a
number of events under the covers), or firing the specific events that
the javascript might be looking for, such as 'onMouseOver'

It can get particularly tricky because some of these things use (IMHO)
rather insane practices like popping up little frames with the 'list'
elements in them etc. and that means you have to click them from
within a frame, something you might have no clue to expect just from
looking at portions of the HTML.

Have a look at this example http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/combobox/examples/default/defaultcs.aspx

pick the combobox for 'product' does that look something like the
control you are trying to manipulate?

When I examine that example and in particular look at the 'cell' that
has "123" in it

What I find is
div class ="RadComboBoxDropDown"
div class="rcbscroll"
listitem (one of many, with identicle attributes (joy)
table (each listitem has one, and they all have the same
attributes)
table cell with text "123" inside

I got that by clicking in the 'choose product' then clicking the
refresh icon in the tool ribbon of the IE developer toolbar, then
clicking the 'select element by click' tool and finally clicking on
the '"123" item in the third row of the list.

So if the contents of the cell are unique, or your know the index (the
nth time it appears) you might be able to select it with just using a
cell element, identified by the text that's inside the cell, and using
the .click method to 'select' that item on the list.

Anyway if that example on the Telerik site is close to what you are
dealing with, then working with it (as an eample) and developing the
code to work on it, should show you the pattern to follow with your
site. If not, if you can find an example on their site that is close,
it gives the rest of us something we can all access to try and find an
elegant method of automating the control.

Hi All,

 

We got the solution to click Rad combox drop down list and to select the value.

 

 $ie.link(:id,"rcb__Arrow").click # It should be the link that will trigger the div to appear with the items #
$ie.div(:id,"what ").div(:class," what").ul(:class,"what").li(:text,"what").click

 

 

Thanks,
