Select Items from dropdown list in different ways

Question

Hello,&nbsp;I've to select values from a dropdown( one value at a time), but when I use the object mapping, it takes too long to locate the object. I see that the object has an Id. Is there a way I can access this object directly using it's Id and then select item from the drop-down? &nbsp;Can I use document.getElementById() ?&nbsp;any help would be appreciated!&nbsp;Thank youAbhi

Hi Abhi,
&nbsp;
Take a look at these articles that describe how to use the "Find" methods:

&nbsp;
I hope this helps.&nbsp;

Hi Abhi,
&nbsp;
&gt; Can I use document.getElementById() ?
Yes, you can but this is not recommended because of performance and convenience reasons.
.FindXXX() methods as mentioned by YuriPeshekhonov are recommended and more preferable approach in TestComplete.
