Hi,

In Power Automate for Desktop, when you click on a link on a web page, you want a red framed <div> to appear when you place the pointer over the drop-down list, but instead of a <div>, only a <Select> is displayed. Do you know how to set it up?

Kind Regards,
Toru

Hello Usha-san,

Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry I'm not good at explaining.
To be specific, I would like to create a flow that reads three items from a list box like the one below, and reads the list box in order from the top. However, I am unable to read the contents of the list box.
What is the correct setting?

Kind Regards,
Toru.

Hi @Toru-san ,

Try to use PAD action 'Extract Data from webpage' and select the fields which you need to retrieve.

Hi AK88-san,

Thank you for your reply.
I have been using "Extract data from web pages" since before making this post, and it looks like the image below. There are some differences from the image you replied to. I would like to isolate the problem. Looking at the image below, does it seem like there is something I'm doing wrong?

Kind Regards,
Toru.

Hi @Toru-san ,

Please let me know how you're extracting. I'll mention below the steps to do the extraction using the same action.

1. Hover your mouse to the position where the elements need to be chosen.
2. Kindly give right click and choose 'Extract Element Value' , then choose the attribute needed.
2. if you need a table, choose the next row from the list, this will be automatically forming as a table.

Kindly check and let us know.

Hi AK88-san,

When I operate it, it looks like the image below.
It seems that the list is not selected during the operation process.

Kind Regards,
Toru.

Hi AK88-san,

When selecting from the list, does the arrow in the image below need to change to "Table" instead of "Select" in order to select? I've checked a number of sites, and this is the only difference.
Kind Regards,
Toru.

You need to do the extraction with the drop down list expanded in the browser, and target the individual values of the list, not the parent <select> element.
