POSelenium2's Select object not firing onchange event in IE8
text
Body
copied!<p>In my app I have two <code><select></code> tags. The first one changes the options inside the second one and enables it in the onchange event. </p> <p>When I use the Select object provided by Selenium2 it doesn't fire that event when running in IE8 (works great in FF and when I do it manually).</p> <pre><code>Select select = new Select(getElementByName(name)); element.selectByValue(value); </code></pre> <p>The first <code><select></code> changes as expected. However, the second <code><select></code> remains empty and disabled. I tried this as a workaround:</p> <pre><code>if(ie) { WebElement select = getElementByName(name); WebElement option = select.findElement(By.cssSelector("[value='"+value+"']")); List<WebElement> options = select.findElements(By.cssSelector("option")); //select the first element options.get(0).click(); //make sure the select is focused select.click(); //open select.click(); //close Keyboard keyboard = getWebDriver().getKeyboard(); for(int i = 0; i < options.size() && option.getAttribute("selected") == null; i++) { keyboard.pressKey(Keys.DOWN); //note: if i do a Thread.sleep(100); here, it works more consistently, but still not 100% } } else { // Do the above snippet } </code></pre> <p>but now I get inconsistent results. The desired <code><option></code> always gets selected, while only sometimes does the event get fired.</p> <p>Obviously the best option is getting the Select to work in IE8. Has anyone else seen this issue? Seems like a bug in Selenium2. Is there a known workaround for this?</p>
