From the doc:
(http://webtest.canoo.com/webtest/manual/syntax.html#setselectfield) All values set via this statement are stored in a temporary parameter cache and
added to the next request triggered via a <clickbutton> step.

Because you don't use a clickbutton but a clicklink, the values never get really
transmitted to the form. You don't have the problem with the text fields, because you're using a version of
setinputfield that directly sets the fields. As I've already said, I don't like this "strategy" and I think that it should be
changed but it is the current state of webtest.

Hi, Marc, Thank you very much for responding my question. In my situation, submitting the
form is done by click a Save link, which is like: <a >
href="javascript:creatComponent('tabform','createLibrary.do?appName=CIApp&lqfm=default&act=Create&treemode=1')"
> class="tablinks">Save</a> For some reason, if I use: <clicklink label="Save" stepid="Click Save Button" /> the form is submitted, but the values of the selectfield and checkbox are not
picked up if I use setselectfield and setcheckbox steps. Any idea why is that? Thanks. Tize

checkboxes and select combo are members of forms and their values are therefore
only sent when the owning form is submitted. It has nothing to do with a clicklink.

Hello, everyone, Looking through the WebTest Archives, it seems no one had problems with setselectfield and setcheckbox steps. I am testing a web app using Canoo Webtest. Whenever there are select field or checkbox, I have to use invoke step to submit the correct values for the parameters because clicklink for the Save does not pick up the values for the selectfield and checkbox. I am using build 385, with the modified versions of ClickLink and SetInputfield that Marc Guillemont sent to Glen Cordrey. View source shows the page like below. Could anyone tell how to make it work (using setselectfield, setcheckbox, and clicklink, instead of invoke)?

Thanks a lot. Tize
