Webpage Drop Down Menu

Posted on by

Hello,

 

I have a changing destination variable in my PA desktop flow that I am trying to use on a webpage. When I enter the address, I only have the City and State/Province. That generates a drop down menu where I would need to select first the city and state i entered, and then I would have to scroll the table and select a random address in the middle. I have managed to be able to do this through a combination of hovering my mouse, clicking links on web page, using keyboard, etc. My issue resides in the way that it only works for the specific variable I set it with at the time. Once that variable changes, it no longer works. I have tried everything I can think of, the one that made the most sense to me was using keyboard actions but they don't seem to work on automate even though they work on the website. I have attached a picture of that part of my flow, The page drop down menu, and the second meu for address after City selection. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated as I have been hitting my head against the wall for too long now.

    Use a delay while selecting and select atleast one or teo items from menu and check the attributes…retain only common attributes like tag,class etc and remove the name id etc from selector so that any dropdown item would selected irrespective of what it is in the dropdown after the search happens based on the city and state

     

    cheers

    This does not seem to work for me. Maybe I have missed something. I have removed the title from the UI element and replaced it with class. I have attached the flow along with the code. Click link on webpage  would not work either

    We need to look at the website and the selectors you are using to find the issue
