Question

I’m using Seleniunm to test my webpage.

I have a dropdown box that I want to select an option for. This fires off some Ajax that gets some data for the relevant units.

This works fine when I view the page normally, but with selenium it changes the option in the text box but the Ajax isn’t triggered.

Markup on page:

<select id="measure" name="measure">
    <option selected="selected" value="1">Metric</option>
    <option value="2">US Imperial</option>
    <option value="3">UK Imperial</option>
</select>

C# code:

var dropDown = WebDriver.FindElementById("measure");
var selectElement = new SelectElement(dropDown);
selectElement.SelectByValue("3");

What am I missing in terms of selecting/clicking the dropdown option?

Thanks

I used the FirefoxDriver instead of the InternetExplorer Driver and all seems fine now.
