Hello I am relatively new to QA automated web testing and I try to use SO as a last resort.
That being said I am having issues selecting a choice from a drop down menu in our web app.
Here is the following code:
<div id="edit-main-user-role-wrapper" class="form-item">
<select id="edit-main-user-role" class="form-select my-dropdown ahah-processed" name="main[user_role]" style="display: none;"></select>
<div class="newListSelected" style="position: static;">
<span class="selectedTxt">
Student
</span>
<ul class="newList" style="top: -136px; height: 136px; left: 0px; display: none;">
<li>
<a class="" href="JavaScript:void(0);"></a>
</li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
When I inspect the drop down icon with Firefox inspect element it directs me to this line in the code: span class="selectedTxt"
I have tried accessing the list by id, class, xpath, and css all to no avail.
Here are some of my past attempts:
@browser.div(:class => 'form-item').select_list(:text => 'Student').fire_event ("on click")
@browser.select_list(:xpath, menu).option(:text, option).click
