[Htmlunit-user] HtmlSelect doesnt trigger the events

[jp_listero <jpl...@gm...>]

Hi there,

I am building a spider for a web site that has two combo boxes, the first
one populates the second one.

this it is done with a java script:

*  $('#gender').change(function () {*

*            if ($('#gender').val() == 'Female') {*

*                marital_options = '';*
*                var selected = '';*
*                $.each(marital_status_female, function (index, value) {*
*                    if (value == 1) {*
*                        selected = 'selected="selected"';*
*                    } else {*
*                        selected = '';*
*                    }*
*                    marital_options += '<option ' + selected + ' value="'
+ index + '">' + value + '</option>';*
*                });*
*                $('#marital_status').html('<select class="form-control"
id="marital_status" name="marital_status">' + marital_options +
'</select>');*

this is my code

*try (final WebClient webClient = new
WebClient(BrowserVersion.getDefault())) {*

* webClient.setJavaScriptTimeout(5000);*
* webClient.getOptions().setThrowExceptionOnScriptError(true);*
* webClient.getOptions().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);*
* webClient.waitForBackgroundJavaScript(30000); *
* webClient.getOptions().setUseInsecureSSL(true);*

*...*

*final HtmlSelect gender = page.getFirstByXPath("//*[@id=\"gender\"]");*
*
gender.setSelectedAttribute(gender.getOptionByValue("Male"),Boolean.TRUE);*


* final HtmlSelect marital_status =
page.getFirstByXPath("//*[@id=\"marital_status\"]");*
*marital_status.getOptions(); // this is EMPTY *


Any clue how to make it works ?
