Selenium, help in select dojo dropdown list selection

Use the executeScript method to set the dojo select's value.  

In python, it'd be:

  web_driver.execute_script("dijit.byId('<id of select field>').set('value','<value you want it set to>')")

Select allOpen in new window

Haven't used selenium under java but it should be:

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("dijit.byId('<id of select field>').set('value','<value you want it set to>')");

Select allOpen in new window

It is not working giving exception.
"my_list" is id of drop-down but when I see it in Firebug as it is translated into table I see this:
<table id="my_list" class="dijit dijitReset dijitDownArrowButton dijitSelect"  aria-haspopup="true" role="combobox" dojoattachpoint="_buttonNode,tableNode,focusNode" widgetid="my_list" aria-valuetext=" Select from list ">

Now when user click on this "select from list" a pop-up window opens and user can select a value from list .
Is that possible that I can able to click this table or text and then wait and then from popup window select a value?
Or there is hidden field with same name "my_list" but has no id, can i set its value?
Because when user clicks on text (dojo combo) and select a value from popup then the selected value is assign to this hidden field by dojo.

What dijit are you using?  Can you give us the non-firebug code?  Either the javascript that is generating the dojo object or the html if it's being generated by a dojo.parse.  

I tested my post with a dijit.form.Select and it worked.  So it should work.  It's just a matter of getting the syntax correct.  Let me know the type of dijit you're using and I'll put together a small sample test script for it.

If I see in view source in FireFox I see this:

<select aria-describedby="my_listError"  aria-required="true"  class="my-styled"  name="my_list" id="my_list">
<option value=""  > Select Color </option>
<option value="BL">Blue</option>

dojo translate it into table and send to the client. So in firebug I see a table as below:

<table id="my_list" class="dijit dijitReset dijitInline dijitLeft dijitDownArrowButton dijitSelect" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" aria-haspopup="true" role="combobox" dojoattachpoint="_buttonNode,tableNode,focusNode" style="-moz-user-select: none;" tabindex="0" aria-disabled="false" widgetid="my_list" aria-valuetext=" Select State ">
<tbody role="presentation">
<tr role="presentation">
<td class="dijitReset dijitStretch dijitButtonContents dijitButtonNode" role="presentation">
<span class="dijitReset dijitInline dijitButtonText" dojoattachpoint="containerNode,_popupStateNode">
<span class="dijitReset dijitInline dijitSelectLabel"> Select Color </span>
</span>
<input type="hidden" aria-hidden="true" value="" dojoattachpoint="valueNode" name="my_list">
</td>

Note: Please note that when user click on "Select color" (it is a grey background with small arrow images) then a popup window opens and user select the color value from it.


experts-exchnage code:
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
js.executeScript("dijit.byId('my_list').set('value','BL')");

Please let me know if you need more information.

One more thing, I am able now to set the hidden variable value. But that is not the actual solution. I need to click and set value of drop-down please.  Thanks.

Thankyou very much. It is working

thank you very much for your help. You are not only expert  but nice person too. I appreciate your help and effort.

Thank you.  Glad to have been of help.  :-)
