Hi Shannon,
I have dealt with JS dropdowns and in some cases you need to expand the
list and then select the item.
In the example you provided I don't see this element:
browser.ul(:id,"ctl00_ChangeCustodyMenu")
though it is shown as a list item <li>.
You might need to do something like this:
browser.ul(:index=><0 or 1 not sure>).click
then
browser.a(:text,'Drop-off").click
Looking at the html is this a dropdown inside of dropdown?
I use watir-webdriver but that because we test multi browsers.
I hope this helps.
Joe
