I'm experimenting with ruby and watir for parsing data from the web.

I'm having no problem getting info from standard fields, however I've come across a listbox on one of the pages I'm looking at, and I want to find an easy way of getting the number if items returned in the selectlist element, so that I iterate through them. Any idea how to get the count of items?

Hi,

you can get the number of items in a list box by using 'getAllContent.count' method.
eg:ie.select_list(pname,pvalue).getAllContent.count
Please let me know if you need any more information.

Thanks,
Sri.
