How to select a value in a dropdown identified as a WebElement
Question ID: 105912

In our application, we have a dropdown list that identifies in UFT as a WebElement. When I record on this object, it only records the click on the object but doesn’t record selecting the value. How can I get this to work?

Here’s a publicly exposed example of a similar drop down:

Note, UFT wouldn’t even record the click on the object on this web site, so you have to SPY on the Categories object then from the spy, click the "Add Object to Repository" button, then open the OR and drag the object to the UFT editor!

You can use the Object property to set the innerText of the object

Browser(''Example of cascading DropDownL'').Page(''Example of cascading DropDownL'').WebElement(''Select category...'').Click

Browser(''Example of cascading DropDownL'').Page(''Example of cascading DropDownL'').WebElement(''Select category...'').Object.innerText = ''Confections''
