I did some addtional testing, and i think the problem has something to
do with the format of the line read by the code..
I tried other select boxes that surely worked fine.. but once i read
the choices in the select box from the local text file, then the same
problem persists.
could anyone please tell me how I should adjust the format of each line
read from the local text file so that the WATIR code select each option
one by one from the text file??
thanks.
