    <p>There are many different ruby-tastic ways to collect information to an array (like collect, etc), here's one:</p> <pre><code>@myArray = Array.new @browser.select_list(:how, what).options.each do |option| @myArray &lt;&lt; option end </code></pre> <p>Since "options" gives you all of the options in Array format, you can also (and probably should) just do:</p> <pre><code>@myArray = @browser.select_list.options </code></pre> <p>Update based on your comment - that code generated the list you were looking for, but you did not specify what you're looking to do with it. The output you see is the Ruby Object format of the list. In the same way we iterated over the items above, you can iterate through your array options:</p> <pre><code>@num = 0 @myArray.each do |option| @num += 1 puts "#{@num}. option" end </code></pre> <ul> <li>Output would look like: <ol> <li>Baseball</li> <li>Basketball</li> <li>Underwater basketweaving</li> </ol></li> </ul> <p>You can write them to a file, the console, save them, etc. Those are straightforward Ruby things to do. Hope that helps!</p> <p>Update #2 based on your comment: I believe that you need to simplify how you're thinking about the application. We're no longer talking about missionaries or basketballs or even a webpage. Since we have identified the object you needed to access (the select_list), and pulled its data into an Array, we can now perform actions on it.</p> <p>We have an Array. We know that this Array contains all of the individual options from a select_list. We can use any Ruby Array methods then to do <em>something</em> to this data. If we want the total number of options:</p> <pre><code>@myArray.length (basically, @browser.select_list.options.length) </code></pre> <p>Likewise, you can delete_at with this Array, you can re-order its contents, or you can display each item as I did in Update #1.</p>

    1. COThat was close, this is what I added and what I got back: browser.select_list(:id,'branch_select').select_value('01') browser.select_list(:id,'user_type_select').select_value('1') browser.select_list(:index,2).click missionaries = browser.select_list(:index,2).options puts "Missionary List: " + missionaires.to_s Returns: Missionary List: #<Watir::OptionCollection:0xf757b9>

    2. COIt would be easier if you could edit your question and add that information, that will allow it to be properly formatted instead of wrapped around in a comment to a proposed answer where it is hard to read and may be missed by someone reading the original question.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
