Is there an alternative to the drop down list like a Select-Box in MVC2? I have been looking around for a bit and the web seems a little ambiguous on this issue.
You could use the Html.ListBoxFor which will generate a multiple select list box. The only difference with the DropDownListFor is that it addes the multiple="multiple" to the <select> tag that it generates and obviously the first parameter in the lambda expression must be a list property as you could have multiple selected values.

I am using CRM 2016, and trying to customize email template by adding a dynamic data. I know that CRM allows to use only specific vanilla entities, but when I explorer an old code I found an option to use {0}, {1} etc' for injecting data from non vanilla entities (by code) - unfortunately that code cannot be tested...
Have someone heard or know about that way? is it possible? what to google for?
You can do this by manually typing similar marker what CRM is using. Note that this is not documented in SDK.
Dynamic Values For Custom Entities In Email Templates
In the template, where you want the value to appear, type within 2 brackets an exclamation point followed by the entity logical name. After the entity name, add a colon, and then the field logical name, ending it with a semi colon. If you’d like a default value if nothing was found, after the semi colon add the default value.
{!<entitylogicalname>: <fieldlogicalname>; <Default Text>}
More in part 2:
The Global Template Type is what you’d want to use for custom
entities, or any other entity not listed in the template type drop
down menu. And just to reiterate, regardless of the way you insert
values, whether you use the out of the box insert method or you
manually type it in, you can only insert values from one record.
Dynamic Values For Email Templates - Part 2
Dynamics' email templates are flawed. You either can't use custom entities or you have no translation. I use this workflow instead. It can do everything : https://github.com/rtebar/dynamics-custom-emails
Need to create a <select> element where each of the options is written in a different language.
I've tried using the "lng" tag for the <option> but it's not helping.
The drop-down is generated from a call to the DB. Each <option> needs to have the following format:
Language Name (in English) followed by the original language name in parentheses.
For example:
<option>Spanish (Español)</option>
Everything is fine and dandy until I get to foreign character sets, which don't display:
<option>Akan (Twi)</option>
<option>Amharic (????)</option>
<option>Arabic (????????????)</option>
<option>Bengali (?????)</option>
<option>Chinese (????)</option>
Does anyone know how to create a drop-down containing multiple character sets?
I solved this by changing the parameters of the DB connection string. I added ";charset=utf8".
However, that scrambled many of my other pages so I now have a separate DB connection string just for the page that I need this multi-language drop down on.

What's the correct XPath syntax to check if an option element is currently selected, or just to get the selected option element from a select element, on an open page with which the user, and JavaScript, may have interacted? Is this even possible with XPath, or does it lack the ability to look at DOM properties?
I can't find any documentation on this, and have (speculatively) tried:
//option[#selected=true]
//option[#selected="selected"]
//option[#selected]
but none of these work; they simply don't match any elements.
(In case it matters, I've tried this both using the $x function in the Chrome developer console, and using the find_elements_by_xpath method in Selenium for Python.)
Short answer: it's not possible.
Longer answer: XPath can look at HTML attributes, but it can't look at DOM properties. Selecting an <option> element in a <select> changes the selected property of the <option> to true, and also changes the value property of its parent <select> element, but it doesn't affect the attributes of either, so it is invisible to XPath.
To find <option> elements that have the selected attribute set, which is often how a page author might determine which option is initially selected, you can use //option[#selected]. But this does not find the currently selected <option>; changes that the user makes to the selection are invisible to XPath. There's no guarantee it will even find the initially selected option, since it's possible that the page author didn't put the selected attribute on any elements and either let the browser select the first option by default or had some JavaScript select the initial option via the selected property.
The multiple other answers here claiming that a selector like //option[#selected] can detect selection changes made by the user after the page loads are simply completely wrong.
Of course, if you're able to use CSS selectors instead of XPath selectors, then option:checked will do the job.
The problem could be the " (double quotes).
//select/option[#selected='selected'] - Will match the selected option, i am using this successfully.
//select/option[#selected='selected' and #value='specific value'] - Will only match the selected option if it has a 'specific value', i'm also using this.
If you are still having trouble, it could be an entirely different problem, perhaps there is no option node. I hope this helps.
I think we can use a knowledge from #Mark's answer and account that. Let's just find a node which HAS desired attribute:
tree.xpath('//select/option[#selected]/text()')[0].strip()
I tried "//option[#selected=''] and it has worked for me.
it is able to highlight the selected option within Page objects model.
I would try //option[#selected='true']
i.e. driver.findElements(By.xpath("//option[#selected='true']")).getText();
I am using sx tag i.e. struts-dojo-tag of struts 2 to autosuggest one field on one page. It is working fine. Now I want to populate other fields on the same page based on the selection of autosuggest field. I tried calling javascript on the above field on various events like onselect, onchange,etc with no success.
JSP code :
<sx:autocompleter autoComplete="true" listKey="id" listValue="brandName" name="brand.brandName" id="brandName" cssClass="textfield" list="brandList" onchange="populateInfo(this.value);"></sx:autocompleter>
here I want to autosuggest brandNames available and on selecting the brand, I want to populate data regarding the brand in some others fields. I tried calling java script function populateInfo(), but the function is not getting called.
Can you please help me out?
I think this problem can be solved by using select tag of struts2-jquery.

In jquery is it possible to access a select element by simply using the div or span id plus the "select" selector? I ask because i have a series of auto-generated forms meaning I can't assign an id to the form elements plus the names are weird like "w24", I'd like to access a form element specifically a select using the surrounding span id and "select" selector example:
$("#hiv_care select").attr("disabled",true);
I've tried this but it doesn't work, forcing me to explicitly use the dropdown name.
Seems I was using the wrong div id. SLaks thanks for the link to jsfiddle.net it exposed my ways and is really helping me with testing out my jquery code.
