Trying to select a Javascript element using the Python module Spynner.

</td>
<td valign="middle">
<img width="5px" src="images/spacer.gif">
</td>
<td valign="middle">
<a href="javascript:setChildFrameWidth();valid()">
</td>
<td valign="middle">
<img width="10px" src="images/spacer.gif">
</td>
</tr>

And here is my code:

from __future__ import division
from __future__ import unicode_literals
from __future__ import print_function
import re
import spynner
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import time
br = spynner.Browser()
br.create_webview()
br.show()
br.set_html_parser(BeautifulSoup)
br.load("https://www.thomsononeim.com/s-log_in.asp")
br.fill("input[name=txtLoginID]", "USERNAME")
br.fill("input[name=txtPWD]", "PASSWORD")
br.click("input[name=Submit]", wait_load=True)
br.click("input[name=Market]", wait_load=True)
br.select("IBESNA~US")
br.browse()
br.close()

What am I doing wrong with the select? It gives me the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\Sample Programs\Spynner Basic.py", line 17, in <module>
    br.select("IBESNA~US")
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\spynner\browser.py", line 862, in select
    self._runjs_on_jquery("select", jscode)
   File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\spynner\browser.py", line 394, in _runjs_on_jquery
     raise SpynnerJavascriptError("error on %s: %s" % (name, code))
SpynnerJavascriptError: error on select: jq('IBESNA~US').attr('selected', 'selected')

This is a bit of a guess, but it looks like select takes a css selector. Since IBESNA~US isn't a tag, it can't select it and throws an error. Try something like br.select('option[value="IBESNA~US"]')
