HTML View not recognizing Select Options in HTML

Hi,

Actually it’s not a kapow design studio recognizing issue. Kapow design studio recognizing select option in HTML view. But here you are selecting the first option in city. That is the reason for getting an error message like “Error from the Select Option action. No option with value or test “null” was found in the <select>-tag”.

In the image, you selected OH State (id=Select2) and Summit County (id=Select3) and the City (id=Select4).

Here the city options values are,

<option value =”0”> Select A City </option>
<option value =”AKRAON”> AKRAON </option>
<option value =”AKRAON BEACON JAURNAL”> AKRAON BEACON JAURNAL </option>
etc.
Here you are selected the first option (<option value =”0”> Select A City </option>) Normally the value of first option is null (0), So it will return the null value. That is the reason to show the error message like “Error from the Select Option action. No option with value or test “null” was found in the <select>-tag”.

Please select any other options and try. Definitly it will work.

Thank you.

Hey Shyham, thanks for the reply but my issue is that those options do not appear at all in the HTML View in Kapow. It's like they don't exist. The options you saw from the original post were from a screenshot of the Developer Tools view. When I am stepping through in Kapow , there are no options to select for the City field. Any thoughts to why?

I have experienced this when building robots that select various options similar to the workflow you have outlined.  On some websites selecting an Option does not trigger the next set of Options to populate.  One technique to trigger the next Option set to populate that has worked for me is after I select an Option I insert a Click Step on the Option I just selected.  Another technique that has worked is to insert a Press Key (Enter) step on the Option I just selected.  Either of those processes could trigger an event in the website that then populates the next set of Options.  When you select an option in your desktop browser that happens automatically, but sometimes in the robot you need to to add a step like the Click Step or the Press Key Step as I mentioned to get the page to refresh.

Thanks for your help. I will give this a try.
