Select Option

Select Option

Type: page-select  ·  Package: Browser v1.0.0

Choose an option from an HTML drop-down list (<select>). You can select by internal value, by visible label or by index (position). Also supports multiple selection.

Only for native <select>

This activity works with standard HTML dropdown lists (<select>). Many modern sites use “fake” dropdowns made with <div> and JavaScript: in those cases, do not use Select Option, but a Click to open the dropdown and another Click on the option.

How it works

Locate <select> by its selector and choose the option that matches value. Zoan Automation attempts to interpret value as the option’s value, its visible text, or its index (starting at 0).

Required parameters

Parameter	Editor	Description
selector	selector	The <select> element.
value	expression	Value, label or index (base 0) of the option. For multiple, pass an array expression.

Optional parameters

Parameter	Editor	Description
page	session	The page session. Omit it inside a body; outside, pass = page.
timeout	number	Maximum in ms to wait. By default 30000.

Example

Page Select   selector = (#pais)   value = "Colombia"        // por etiqueta visible
Page Select   selector = (#pais)   value = "CO"              // por valor interno
Page Select   selector = (#pais)   value = 0                 // por índice (primera opción)
Page Select   selector = (#temas)  value = = arr("RPA", "IA")  // selección múltiple
