Question
Okay, so this seems like an easy thing to do but I cannot find how to do it. I have used the htmlagility pack to parse the web page and it works great. Now, the issue is that the following.
<td width="45%" class="TextBold" nowrap>
<select name="ctl00$BodyContent$ddlChooseView" onchange="if (this.selectedIndex > 0
{pageTracker._trackEvent('webpage tracker','complete report',this.options
[this.selectedIndex].text);}
ShowProcessing(this);setTimeout('__doPostBack(\'ctl00$BodyContent$ddlChooseView\',\'\')',
0)" id="ctl00_BodyContent_ddlChooseView" class="TextBold">
<option selected="selected" value=""> -- Select a view -- </option>
<option value="H">Option1</option>
<option value="R">Option2</option>
<option value="N">Option3</option>
<option value="NA">Option4</option>
<option value="RN">Option5</option>
<option value="QP">Option6</option>
</select>
</td>
I apologize if this did not format correctly. And I want to select one of the options in the html select object. To trigger a new display on the page and then parse that "new" webpage. Can htmlagilitypack do this? If not, what can I do to select one of the options?
