Question

I am looking to automate selecting an item from a list where the generated HTML looks like:

<select name="uid_1"">
<option value="0">All</option>
<option value="1">Option A</option>
<option value="2">Option B</option>
<option value="3">Option C</option>
</select>

I can use the iMacros script line to select Option A, which has a value of 1:

TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT FORM=NAME:myForm ATTR=NAME:uid_1 CONTENT=%1

But I need to select by the display text "Option A" as this will be more stable than the options value.

Is this possible with iMacros?
Note that I am using the iMacros plug in for Firefox.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Better answer: Use a $ instead of a %.

TAG POS=1 TYPE=SELECT FORM=NAME:myForm ATTR=NAME:uid_1 CONTENT=$Option<SP>A

Note: The <SP> command indicates a space and is case sensitive.
