  Use the quotes. They are required.

  After using the quotes i got the below error and script was failed
  
  _click(_getSelectedText(_select("ddlUser").options[0].value));
  
  TypeError: 'options.length' is null or not an object
  No trace available
  
  In my application the Drop Down list items generated are dynamic and is loaded based on the logged in user

  Could you try _setSelected(_select("ddlUser"), _select("ddlUser").options[$y].text)
  It sets the value correct but it lacks the clicking... if the clicking is needed, I can't find a workaround right now

  Hi globalworming
  
  The code which u gave is working fine without any errors but the problem is it is not selecting the values in drop down instead it skips and goes to next line.....

  hmm maybe you could provide the URL where your script is running... because I have no further ideas how to solve this problem... am I right that the clicking is important? does the selectfield change to the values with this line:
  
  _setSelected($nItemsInDropdown, $nItemsInDropdown.options[$y].text));
  
  if yes, you could try to just add a
  
  _click($nItemsInDropdown) ;
  
  after this line so that it looks like
  
  
  _click(_link("Claims Status"));
  var $nItemsInDropdown =_select("ddlUser");
  for(var $y=0;$y<$nItemsInDropdown.options.length;$y++)
  {
  _click(_div("divFamilylock"));
  _setSelected($nItemsInDropdown, $nItemsInDropdown.options[$y].text));
  _click($nItemsInDropdown) ;
  }

  Hi Prashanth and Wormi,
  
  You can select an option in a select box using index also.
  
  So you could have done:
  

  var $nItemsInDropdown = 0;
  _set($nItemsInDropdown,_select("ddlUser").options.length);
  for(var $y=0;$y<$nItemsInDropdown;$y++)
  {
     _setSelected(_select("ddlUser"), $y);
  }

  Nice and easy solution. I didn't know that you can set _select by giving a number. Thanks narayan, I will change that in my scripts
