Using Selenium IDE to select dropdown by position

[DanS]

How can I pick a value in a dropdown menu by its position instaed of
it's label. I have an area where I will not have static labels in the
drop down, so I have to pick by position in the list versus what the
label is.

Thanks for any help.

Hi
Try this code,

while (true)
    {
        if (!selenium.isElementPresent("xpath=//select[@name='XPATH_TO_SELECT_ELEMENT']/optgroup[2]/option[" + i + "]"))
        {
        break;
        }
        selenium.select("xpath=//select[@name='XPATH_TO_SELECT_ELEMENT']", "index=" + (i - 1) + "");

        i++;

    }

Thanks and Kind Regards
jerald
