Body
I'm using Selenium in C# with Selenium RC to do some automated interaction testing but have come across a stumbling block. Given this HTML: <pre><code><select id="my-select-list"> <option value="1">First option</option> <option value="2">Second option</option> <option value="3">Third option</option> <option value="4">Fourth option</option> </select> </code></pre> I want to test to make sure that the option "Third Option" is present on the page. All of the following tests have failed, i.e. return false: <pre><code>Selenium.IsElementPresent("//select/option[@label='Third option']") Selenium.IsElementPresent("//select[option='Third option']") Selenium.IsElementPresent("//select[contains(option, 'Third option')]") Selenium.IsElementPresent("//option[contains(., 'Third option')]") Selenium.IsElementPresent("//option[contains(text(), 'Third option')]") </code></pre> Is it a limitation of Selenium (RC / .NET) or is there another way of selecting it? Ps. I know I could test using the option's value but that may change and the text definately won't. EDIT: PEBKAC error Sorry, my bad. Seems selenium was loading a different site than what I thought it was loading. The following XPath queries all work: <pre><code>Selenium.IsElementPresent("//option[text()='Third option']") Selenium.IsElementPresent("//select[option='Third option']") Selenium.IsElementPresent("//option[contains(., 'Third option')]") Selenium.IsElementPresent("//option[contains(text(), 'Third option')]") </code></pre>

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.
