How do I select a specific option for an HTML select element?

[bobstratton 2]

Even with advanced editing, I still can't figure out how to select a specific option of an html select element.

 

Here's the HTML:

 

<select name='processor' style='width:350px;'> <option value='0' selected>Select processor...</option><option value='-1'>From my account cash balance (balance: $999.9514)</option><option value='8' >PayPal (fee: 0.00%)</option><option value='5' >Solid Trust Pay (fee: 0.00%)</option></select>

 

I've tried selecting

  <option value="-1"> (which is the value I want in this particular case).

I've also tried selecting text with a wild card

  <innertext=w"From my account cash balance*">

and nothing I have tried works.

 

Everything just displays the drop down just as if I had selected

 <select  name="processor">

 <name="processor"> or

 

I have to pause my bot and let the user select the option. This is a viable and even necessary solution for some users, but just an annoyance for the majority who always select the same option.

 

Any suggestions?

Maybe try scraping the cash balance line first into a variable, then use that as the select item.

Try Page scrape with

left side value =<option value='-1'> 

right side value=</option><option value='8' >
