Selecting option value based on the "value"

[jasontj]

Hi.  I am trying to select the value from a drop down "select" list from this site:

https://www.dallascounty.org/criminalBackgroundSearch/search.jsp

I want to change the DOB Month and DOB Day based on the "values".  So, 01, 02, etc from these lists.  

 

<select name="dobMonth" size="1" class="form-select form-select-lg">
                                <option value="">&nbsp; </option>
                                <option value="01">January</option>
                                <option value="02">February</option>
                                <option value="03">March</option>
                                <option value="04">April</option>
                                <option value="05">May</option>
                                <option value="06">June</option>
                                <option value="07">July</option>
                                <option value="08">August</option>
                                <option value="09">September</option>
                                <option value="10">October</option>
                                <option value="11">November</option>
                                <option value="12">December</option>
                            </select>
 

Below is the only code that I have found that works.  Sure seems overly complicated.  I'd love to have a more efficient solution for this. 

_WD_ExecuteScript($sSession, "var element = document.evaluate('/html/body/div/form[1]/div[10]/div/div[2]/select', document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue; element.value = '" & $sCellValueMonth & "'; element.dispatchEvent(new Event('change'));")

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Did you try to perform this with either _WD_ElementOptionSelect or _WD_ElementSelectAction?

    ; line below works.  just need to subtract 1 from the month value.  Should work the same for Day.
_WD_ElementOptionSelect($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//select[@name='dobMonth']//option[03]")

I did, but this will only for when the values in the list are numbered, like day of Month.  I've got another page where the states need to be selected, "TX", "UT", etc.  So I need this to work based on a value, not on a position.  I must be missing something simple on this.

Got it.  Thanks for the push in the right direction @Danp2

$sCellValueMonth = "05" ;  this will set it to "May"

_WD_ElementOptionSelect($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//select[@name='dobMonth']/option[@value='" & $sCellValueMonth & "']")

@mikos65 What have you tried thus far? Note that this isn't a standard Select element, so the above discussion may not apply.

that is a silly answer! Show what you are trying is the simple question!
