IE COM Dropdown select

[euras]

hi, I have a problem with selecting the Item from Dropdown list. When I send a request document.getElementById("nationality2_dropdown").selectedIndex I get an answer 160 which is the Item I selected manually.
But when I try to send a command document.getElementById("nationality2_dropdown").selectedIndex := 160 to select the Item from DropDownlist, nothing hapends. value doesn't work either.
the HTML looks like in attachment. How can I select item from this Dropdownmeniu?

Code: Select all

pwb.document.getElementById("nationality2_dropdown").selectedIndex := 160

that select element seems to not be visable as it has the display: none; style

so are you sure that this is the element that you intract with manully? and not some other element that is then setting this with js code?

well, when I select the element from DropDown, and send a command in F12 document.getElementById("nationality2_dropdown").selectedIndex I get a right answer, so it connect's somehow, the problem that I can't send a value to the Dropdown, only get the selected value...
with IWB2 learner I don't get a ID of the element when I mark it, only the TAG name. But with F12 I can see that the element has ID...

then it is not the same element,

with the f12 tool try and have highlight the element that you are hovering over to see if that can help you, meny websites today use other ways of building things like dropdown to make that work or look better, but it can make it harder to work with programcally
