xpath help

I am trying to figure out how to select with Xpath something that ends
with 'MWI'

I am getting a null pointer error when I use this. Does anyone have
examples of some working string compare xpaths?

<watij-set-select-list
functionId="Set the 'MWI' option of a select field"
how="xpath"
what="string contains(//SELECT[@name],MWI)"
/>

try:

<watij-set-select-list
functionId="Set the 'MWI' option of a select field"
how="xpath"

what="//SELECT[contains(@name, 'MWI')]"
/>

Ok thank you, I see how the syntax works, my HTML actually looks like
this;

<select name="server_name" size="10" style="width: 300px;">
<option value='10022' selected>
pstn3 - MWI

.../>

So I want to select the name elements childs char data? Is there
something for that?

thanks again,

I have tried a number of things.

For example;

<watij-set-select-list
functionId="Set the 'MWI' option of a select field"
how="xpath"

what="SELECT//OPTION[contains(text, 'MWI')]"
/>

Still re-reading the xpath tutorial: http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/xpath_syntax.asp

Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

Not only can I not select this item from a select list, im having
trouble clicking a button. There is a null pointer error here too.

watij
ie().button(getSymbolFromString(how),what).click();

html
<input type="submit" name="apply" value="&nbsp; run &nbsp;"
class="buttonLabel">

I see two problems:

1) you aren't telling it what to set. Take a look at the acceptance
tests in watij-plugin/tst/xml/acceptance/watij-set-select-list-
success.xml
2) I don't see any reason for using XPath in this situation. You know
the field name so use:

<watij-set-select-list
functionId="Set the 'MWI' option of a select field"

how="name"
what="server_name"
select="pstn3 - MWI"
/>

or

<watij-set-select-list
functionId="Set the 'MWI' option of a select field"

how="name"
what="server_name"
selectValue="10022"
/>

This would probably be more appropriate to post these to the Jameleon
forums instead of this one.

Your problem is that you are using the getSymbolFromString method, but
you are passing in the actual Symbol.

Try:

ie().button(how,what).click();

Yea, thanks. It was a namespace prefix missing so I wont bother
posting it. both problems were.

[webwicht]

following XPath expression will work:

what="//SELECT/OPTION[contains(text(), 'MWI')]"
