javascript onChange

[ame1011]

I just wanted to know how to invoke a javascript onchange on a select box.

The HTML code (of the frame that the select box is located in) looks like this:

CODE

<select name="DropDownList2" onchange="__doPostBack('DropDownList2','')" language="javascript" id="DropDownList2">

<option selected="selected" value="1">1</option>

<option value="2">2</option>

</select>/2

My code looks like this so far:

$oMiddleContent = _IEFrameGetObjByName($oIE, "middle_content")
    $numPages = traverseElements($oMiddleContent)
    
    ;if multiple pages
    if $numPages > 1 Then
        for $u = 2 to $numPages
            ;visit new page
            $dropdown = _IEGetObjById($oMiddleContent, "DropDownList2")
            $dropdown.value=$u
            _IELoadWait($oIE)
            $oMiddleContent = _IEFrameGetObjByName($oIE, "middle_content")
            $numPages = traverseElements($oMiddleContent)
        Next
    EndIf

this however doesn't work. I can't just simply change the value of the select box. The above select box is also not in a form thus I can't just submit a form. Additionally, the URL doesn't change when the second page is loaded so I can't pass info through that.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance

#include <IE.au3>

$s_string Value used to match element - treatment based on $s_mode

$f_select Optional: specifies whether element should be selected or deselected

ah, lol oops...

I usually only use the _IE functions to open, close and collect collections of objects and I prefer to do everything else directly with the DOM. I totally missed that function, thanks!

new problem:

$oMiddleContent = _IEFrameGetObjByName($oIE, "middle_content")
    $numPages = traverseElements($oMiddleContent)
    
    ;if multiple pages
    if $numPages > 1 Then
        for $u = 2 to $numPages
            ;visit new page
            $dropdown = _IEGetObjById($oMiddleContent, "DropDownList2")
            _IEFormElementOptionselect($dropdown, $u)
            _IELoadWait($oIE)
            $oMiddleContent = _IEFrameGetObjByName($oIE, "middle_content")
            $numPages = traverseElements($oMiddleContent)
        Next
    EndIf

the script doesn't wait for the page to change, it just moves onto the next item. I see the select box change to 2, but the _IELoadWait doesn;t seem to be executing

Try

_IELoadWait($oMiddleContent)

_IELoadWait($oIE)
