  You can select using the index also.
  _setSelected(_select("selId"), 1); will choose 2nd option. (indexing starts from 0.)

  Hi,
  
  I am trying to assert a value in a combo box, but it is showing me error.
  The assert statement is
  _assertExists(_option(_select("FSCList"), "testitem"));
  
  When i am running the script it is always failing, the log shows as follows
  
  _assertExists(_option(_select("FSCList"), "testitem"));
  TypeError: id.match is not a function

  http://s-ws.geodesic.net/_s_/spr/concat.js:2234
  http://s-ws.geodesic.net/_s_/spr/concat.js:3951
  
  How do i write the code for asserting an item in a combo box?

  Hi Anoop
  
  I just googled an combobox example http://www.asp.net/ajaxLibrary/AjaxControlToolkitSampleSite/ComboBox/ComboBox.aspx and teh Sahi controller let's me select the entries without problemes, so using

  _assertExists(_listitem("testitem"))
  

  should be enough.

  The accessor is _select("FSCList") which is a combo box.
  It has multiple list items where as one item in the list is "testitem"
  
  I tried the code u gave in this way it is not working
  _assertExists(_select("FSCList")("testitem"));
  
  If i do a select operation in the list, it is working fine. The code is:
  _setSelected(_select("FSCList"), "testitem");
  this is executing properly in playback.
  
  But i'm not able to assert an item for existence or nonexistence, script always fails
  _assertExists(_option(_select("FSCList"), "testitem"));
  _assertNotExists(_option(_select("FSCList"), "testitem"));
  
  I'm not sure whether it is because of the wrong usage of _option api.
  
  I saw the post abt the same problem.. however it doesn't work for me..

  Hi Anoop,
  
  You could try this
  

  _assertExists(_option("testitem", _in(_select("FSCList"))));

  Hi dkulkarni,
  
  I tried it. Its working perfectly!
  Thanks a lot.
  But i'm wondering why it is not working with the code i used even though it was the way described in tutorials and other forum posts. So i think i need to use _in api for all list assersions, isn't it? or it is specific to the type of combobox where i was testing?

  Hi Anoop,
  
  Your usage was basically incorrect.
  
  If you want to assert that element exists on the page, then you can use
  
  _assertExists(_option("testitem"));
  
  However, if you wish to assert that element exists on the page AND inside the dropdown, use
  
  _assertExists(_option("testitem", _in(_select("FSCList"))));
