IEFormFill - Set dropdown using HTML value

[Dominic_Fichera]

Hey guys,

Another IE question - Is it possible to set the value of a dropdown menu with IEFormFill based off the HTML value of a field? For example, based on the below HTML, could I say:

Code: Select all

IEFormFill>IE[0],,,name,PERSONNAME,,res

where PERSONNAME is FZT70 for Dominic or TBS16 for Paul etc

Code: Select all

		<select name="name">
		<option value="1"> 
		</option>
		
		  <option value="FZT70" >Dominic
		</option>
		
		  <option value="TBS16" >Paul
		</option>
		
		  <option value="LNL30" >Tim
		</option>
		</select>

I've seen in the manual that you can set based off the index, but the list size will always be changing, so a static list position wouldn't work for long.

Thanks in advance,

Use IETagEventByAttrib instead and just provide the actual value.

Alternatively, extract the HTML, regex it to find the item you want based on the value and pull out the item text.

Hey Marcus,

IETagEventByAttrib is the first thing I tried:

Code: Select all

IETagEventByAttrib>{%URL%},SELECT,name=employeeNumber,,FZT70

but I get the following error: "Line: 1 - unable to set tag value".

RegEx sounds perfect, but I've never really understood how it works. I've had a bit of a read through the manual, but none the wiser After a quick look at the "Find an IP address" without EasyPatterns, this looks like it might work, but I don't know how to determine the pattern it looks for. Would appreciate any help you might be able to provide.

Thanks,
