Selecting an element without a form

[Athos]

Hi guys, I'm new to autoit, but so far I love using it and have been having a blast working on test automation with it.

However, I've hit a snag, in that I need to select an option from a select that displays on a page, but the select for whatever reason is not located within a form.

At first I assumed this was wrong, but after double checking with _IEFormGetCollection, none of the forms

contained the select I need to access.

So my question is, how do I select this option, so that I might move on with my script, when the select is not part of a form. I've tried using _IE action, and I've had little success so far.

Thank you,

Athos

You need to provide the HTML of the page in question. You might be able to retrieve it using _IEGetObjById or _IEGetObjByName.

for the sake of protecting the information on the page i'm going to change a few names:

<span class="smpGroupItemLabel">Selectotheright:</span> <SELECT ID='X' NAME='X' onchange="javascript:setSimpleGroupRuleOption('CO', 'C_D', this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'D')" ><option id="This is the option that I want" value="All">All</option>

You should be able to use something like:

$oIE = _IECreate("http://somesite.com")
$oSelect = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "X")

_IEFormElementOptionSelect($oSelect, "All", 1, "byText")
; or
_IEFormElementOptionSelect($oSelect, "This is the option that I want")

Thanks zorphnog! That worked like a charm
