Get a Single Selection's Name from a Dropdown box

[Nate]

Hello I'm trying to store the string text from a dropdown's boxes menu(of type ArtOfTest.WebAii.Controls.HtmlControls.HtmlSelect) programmatically. If I convert the box's InnerText to a string it will result in a single string with all of the items in the dropdown box as a single word. Is there anyway I can get this information for a single entry?

[Nate]

Basically the HTML looks like this-

<SELECT id=ctrlDropDown name=ctrlEdit:DropDown1><OPTION value=1111>TargetText1</OPTION><OPTION value=1234>ExampleText2</OPTION><OPTION value=2222>SampleText3</OPTION>

Where I want to extract the value "TargetText1" and/or "ExampleText2" and store it as a string.

Hi Nate,

Thank you for writing.

If you want to write the items' texts you can you the following code snipped in the coded step.

foreach(HtmlOption option in Pages.YourPage.CtrlDropDownSelect.Options)
{
    Log.WriteLine(option.Text);
}

This code will write the following rows in the Log file.
'4/27/2011 11:21:55' - LOG: TargetText1
'4/27/2011 11:21:55' - LOG: ExampleText2
'4/27/2011 11:21:55' - LOG: SampleText3
