Hi,
I am creating a script using SAHI where i have multiple combo box having values "Yes" & "No" and following naming conventions-
->_setSelected(_select("academicYear[8].allowcheckout"), "Yes");
How to user _near() for this component.
I tried the following statements but it did not work -
_setSelected(_select("academicYear", _near(_label("2013-2014")), ".allowcheckout","Yes"));
_setSelected(_select("academicYear, _near(_label("2013-2014")), .allowcheckout","Yes"));
please help.
Thanks
Devendra Kumar

maybe regular expressions could help:
_setSelected(_select("/academicYear/", _near(_label("2013-2014"))), "Yes");
though, I dont really know if .allowcheckout serves any function or if its just a name.
Hope this makes any sense

Thanks a lot Wormi,
Devendra Kumar, as a general point to note, [8] here is not added by Sahi. It already exists in the actual html identifier (in your web page's html). When Sahi adds an index, it will always be at the end of the string.
