Hi all,

anyone know how to programmatically get a <SELECT> to drop down?

and then of course the next question .. How to programmatically select one 
of the options in the drop list?

In case anyone is wondering .. the standard IHTMLElement::click is not 
working for these two elements.   I have verified already thru multiple 
means that I am using the correct element to attempt the 'click' on.

Thx in advance..

Don't know. Why do you want to?

Assign to selectedIndex property.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not 
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to 
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly 
overhead. -- RFC 1925

Me too dont know .. there is client-side script that executes on the 
drop-down.   We need it.

Client-side script also gets executed upon selection of the option .. so 
although the selection gets changed, it does not allow the page to function 
properly.

any suggestions?

Thx!

Does the script handle onclick event? You can probably do something like 
this:

var select = ...; // get the select object
if (select.onclick) {select.onclick();}

Or, with IE5.5 and above, you can write

select.fireEvent("onclick");

Simulate onchange event in the same way.

I cant change the script .. it's not my site.

That's not script?

If not .. then is there a way to do this in VB(6.0)?

Thx

Drop the semicolon, and I believe the last line becomes valid VB code.

Yessir .. I tried that:
select.fireEvent("onclick")
this line executes .. even returns a True (as if it worked) .. but the 
control didn't drop down.

I noticed too that there is not a support KB for this issue.   Is there a 
way to do this?

Many Thx

It's not supposed to make the control drop down. It's supposed to 
execute whatever event handlers the script on the page attached to 
onclick event.

Yessir, this is true for 'fireEvent' ..
But what of the select.click?   .. is this not supposed to drop down the 
control?

In my case .. neither one are working .. on the SELECT and OPTION elements 
only.

thx

Not as far as I know. I've never seen it do that.

Ok .. Do you know what it is supposed to do then?

I won't be surprised if it's not supposed to do anything. click() is a 
method on IHTMLElement, which means that every single HTML element has 
it. For some of them, it makes sense and actually does something (e.g. 
buttons). For others, it does nothing at all (e.g. <div> or <span> ).

click() is, however, supposed to fire whatever onclick handler is 
attached, in all cases. Are you sure it doesn't for you?

Well .. reasonably sure I guess.   In this case the SELECT has a unique 
name.    When I return the name to a message box it is the correct name.

I CAN however set the value on the SELECT.   I can set it to any of its 
OPTION values.   This however does not allow the client-side java script 
SELECT event handler to execute.   This event handler populates a second 
SELECT, which needs to be done in order for the page to function properly. 
This is a third-party site which I am trying to automate, so I cant change 
the page.

Also there is a login page preceding this page.    This login page has a 
'submit' button on it.   When I use the 'click' method on this submit 
button, it does work here.

Thx

That's an onchange event, not an onclick. click() has nothing to do with 
it. I believe you do need to fire onchange manualy, using one of the 
techniques I referred to in this thread.

I remember mentioning that click() does work for buttons.

Yes I realize that, it is why it is mentioned .. again.

Neither method (firing onclick or onchange) populates the second SELECT.
Neither sending the desired value to the first SELECT nor 'click'ing it 
fills the second SELECT with the needed OPTIONs.

You had mentioned once that you didn't think that a 'click()' should 
dropdown a SELECT (which doesn't make sense to me), but you had not 
mentioned before that executing a 'click()' on a button presses the button.

I guess all this vagueness is why it is still unclear to me..  :-$

You will have to figure out exactly how the script knows when to 
populate the second drop-down. If you have a publicly accessible URL, 
I'll look at it.

It does not exactly press the button (there is no change in visual 
appearance) - it triggers the same processing that normally triggers 
when the user clicks the button. click() does not imitate a physical 
mouse click, it imitates a default action should one be associated with 
an element.

Well the public URL requires a login which I cannot send for legal reasons. 
But I can send the HTML that has the client script in it.  It is from a 
<FRAME>... shown below.

In the mean-time I have another idea ... is it possible to send a keystroke 
to an element?   Like set the focus to this SELECT and then send it a 
down-cursor keystroke?

The script handles onchange event on two <select> elements, not onclick. 
Try using the approaches we have discussed in this thread, just replace 
onclick with onchange.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not 
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to 
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly 
overhead. -- RFC 1925

Yes .. I know .. I did .. with the same effect.    As mentioned before, both 
approaches did the same thing (nothing).   :-(

Is there a way to send a specific keystroke to an element?

Thx
