Below is the combobox:
<TD ALIGN="left" id="oldcontent">
<select name="status" style="width=150" id="newcontentformat"><option value="14" selected="selected">text1</option>
<option value="15">text2</option>
<option value="16">text3</option></select>
</TD>
I need to select text2 in the combobox/dropdown.I have used the below:
selenium.select("//select[starts-with(@name,status)","text2");
The probelm am facing is,its giving me an error text2 not found.Since there are may other select boxes above this the same name status.So i need to select 2nd element of 2 dropdown/combobox.
Please provide me the solution.Its urgent.Thanks in Advance
Another td
<TD align="left" WIDTH="18%"><FONT ID="oldContent">
<select name="status" onchange="selectTime(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)" id="newcontentformat">
<option value="" selected="selected"></option>
<option value="1">text100</option>
<option value="2">text200<</option>
<option value="3">text300<</option>
</TD>
I hope this should work
selenium.select("//td[@id='oldcontent']/select","label=text2")
Have you tried with id of select tag.
selenium.select("//select[@id='newcontentformat']","label=text2");
or
selenium.select("//td[@id='oldContent']/select[@id='newcontentformat']","label=text2");
well. I would try using css selectors solution:
String cssDropdown="select[id='newcontentformat']";
String csstext200="select[id='newcontentformat']>option[value='2']";
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(cssDropdown)).click();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(1,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
//Thread.sleep(1000);
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(csstext200)).click();
2nd aproach:
if jQuery is supported you can use following:
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
stringBuilder.append("var x=$(\'"+csstext200+"\');");
stringBuilder.append("return x.click()");
(String) js.executeScript(stringBuilder.toString());
hope it helps
Though this solution is not absolute but it wil work.
You can locate this dropdown by using : //select[@name='Status']/following::select[@name='Status'] YOU can add more following depending on the Number of dropdowns. Also you can use preceding it ou want to start backwards.
Please go through Selenium.1.0.Testing.Tools.Beginners.Guide Ebbok .
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
driver.get("http://agra.quikr.com/");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@id='alertcatSelectBox']")).sendKeys("Jobs");
// for your example
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@name='status']")).sendKeys("text2");
