Hi,

That should work but I notice this Select has a javascript event handler and perhaps that is preventing IEFormFill from working or is not triggering. It may do some background processing which therefore isn't happening just by setting the value. But truth is it's hard to say why it isn't working without trying it and having access to the page to debug.

As I say the only idea I have is that the javascript is handling a "real" click and simply setting the value programmatically is not enough. Looks like you are addressing the element properly so realistically if it aint working, it aint gonna work that way.

What you could try is focusing it and then sending some press down's to it.

Something like:

Code: Select all

SetFocus>Internet Explorer*
IETagEventByAttrib>partofurl.com/page,SELECT,CLASS=cInputCbInline,focus,
Press Down * 2

This may work because it simulates keystrokes at the human level rather than just trying to set the value at the HTML level. If the javascript requires "real" keystrokes then this should work.
