[C#] SelectElement.SelectedOption slow on big lists about selenium HOT 4 CLOSED

it's not valid for us to generically assume that the selected attribute is used.

Here's an example where this methodology wouldn't work:

Ah, yes, selected attribute does not change if you change the field. However can be trivially fixed by using working css like so ... https://jsfiddle.net/32t5u702/2/

from selenium.

does that work across all browsers? (you know like IE7). The :selected pseudo-class appears to be html4 and I don't think it was implemented there.

IE7? Probably not (according to stackoverflow). Don't have a system to try that on. Random remarks/questions on the topic (mostly for curiosity)

• Obviously there is also ways to do it in JS (though talking about poking into a vipers nest ...)
• Would it be possible to detect is browsers support :checked without going super overboard?
• Is there some cutoff in market share when Selenium considers a browser for deprecation?

Edit: maybe i should hang out in your IRC channel for a little ;)
