basically one of the select controls has a few "options" in which to choose from
if i use:
for t in br.forms():
print t
the output i get is
`SelectControl(ctl00$cph2$ddlSchool=[*2])
SelectControl(ctl00$cph2$ddlMarkingPeriod=[*1, 2, 3, 4])
SelectControl(ctl00$cph2$ddlCourseSection=[*1120:01:1, 1515:01:1, 2445:01:1, 3723:02:1, 4140:03:1, 5100:08:1, 1:01:1, 9970:07:1, 9913:01:1])>
SubmitControl(ctl00$cph2$btnExecuteReport=Execute) (readonly)`
notice the asterisks
now, what i want is to store the list under "ctl00$cph2$ddlCourseSection" in my program but if i try and store it and then print it:
save = br.form['ctl00$cph2$ddlCourseSection']
print save
the output i get is:
['1120:01:1']
instead of:
['1120:01:1', '1515:01:1', '2445:01:1', '3723:02:1', '4140:03:1', '5100:08:1', '1:01:1', '9970:07:1', '9913:01:1']
so how would i be able to save all of the elements of the list rather than just the element with the asterisk next to it?
By doing this you only get the default value.
save = br.form['ctl00$cph2$ddlCourseSection']
print save
To get all values you have to use
save = br.form.possible_items('ctl00$cph2$ddlCourseSection')
print save
i didn't test it but i think it will work.
