    Hmm, so you're saying it's too far off the screen and not yet visible? Do you know the css selectors on that particular item? You could use querySelector if you know that item has a particular id... Would be roughly the same



    page = Sys.Browser("*").Page(whateverurl or just use "*");



    result = page.querySelector("#objectid");

    result.click();



    I'm not sure how the simulation of clicking the object will work if it's not on the page though... Let me know if this helps at all

I would use the Find Method. 



Something like this..



 



var currPage, obj;



currPage = Sys.Browser("*").Page("*");          //Or whatever the page URL and browser are



obj = currPage.Find("ContentText", "sampletext", 50);  //Give it a big depth to search the page.



**EDIT**



Make sure that you find and click the drop down menu first, so the object is visible first.



obj.Click();
