HTML select list - getting item by value

Help
,
1

Hi -

I am trying to select items from an HTML Select list, where the text of the values may change but the underlying values themselves will not. For example:

<select id="events">
  <option value="5001">Create User</option>
  <option value="5002">Create User Address</option>
  <option value="5003">Create Response Code</option>
  <option value="5004">Remove User</option>
</select>

In this example I want to select the item associated with value 5001, which currently reads as “Create User” but in the future may be changed to “Create Client” or some other text. I haven’t found a clear-cut way to approach this.

Thanks!

One way using less activities, if select item works.

  1. Find Element on your List. - element as output
  2. Assign your value to a string variable - strVal = 5001
  3. In Select Item activity pass - element.FindFirst(FindScope.FIND_CHILDREN,new Selector("<webctrl value='"+strVal.Trim+"' />")).Get("aaname").ToString

go a chance to test, sample fyi
