How can I automate clicking these elements? #435

JobServe job search

If you look at the dropdowns for "Summary View" or "20 Jobs Per Page" or "Best Match." If you mouse over then the dropdowns become available and you can select something. I tried writing hover "Best Match"hoping I could then click on an element. But that does nothing.

Any ideas?

hover "#viewSelect"
click "#lkPreview"

This worked for me. This site does not use standard Select/option tags so it makes it more challenging.

Thanks Chris. The one I was actually interested in was the Best Match one. I tried your example and it worked. I then tried mine and it did work but there was a delay. I then tried it again and it timed out. At some point yesterday this was what I was getting. I then tried yours again and there was a long delay but it did eventually kick in. Is this something you can control for?

Is the delay in the rendering of the drop down?

Its not really something that I can control, they wrote their site in a really strange way.

Yes. No worries. I think the JobServe site could do with a revamp to be honest. But for a job seeker they do seem to offer the best in terms of overall features, despite frustrations!

Anyway, I'm just experimenting with Canopy right now.
