What is the Value of '!TIMEOUT_STEP' in your Script "at that moment"...?
=> It needs to be at least =1, or higher for the 'TD' Element in the DDLB to be "seen"/found...

But hum, as it is a 'TD' Element, it's probably one of those dynamically constructed and populated DDLB's from a previous Selection, or from a "start typing" in some Input Field and the List of corresponding Elements in the DDLB gets dynamically retrieved and narrowed to 1-2-3 Element(s) with eventually only your desired Element listed at some point, as the first and only Item left thus...
Oh...!, yep indeed, confirmed by your "Search & Select" in your Thread Title..., and yep that Type of DDLB's often has "Difficulties" using the 'TAG' Mode...
=> The 'EVENT' Mode works usually best with such dynamic DDLB's, with or without ID's, you'll have to try both, "without ID's" might work better...

What also often works well, is to do the "final" Selection in the DDLB, by using the Keyboard 'Down' Arrow to select that first and only Item, still using the 'EVENT' Mode of course...
And for all 3 Cases, I would add a mini-'WAIT' Statement (of 0.3 or 0.5 Sec) to allow for time for the DDLB to get populated and the List narrowed to your Input Criteria.

And I would also fill in the 'INPUT' Field with the 'EVENT' Mode, as the 'EVENT' Mode is slower (than the 'TAG' Mode), and your "State fund" Input will be "typed" one Char by one Char at the time, like a "human" User would do...

>>>

Your Thread btw has nothing specific to the 'iMacros for FF' Sub-Forum, try to select the "correct" Sub-Forum when you open a New Thread, and I think I've already told you that... :!:
(=> Would have been the 'General' one in this Case... But no need to duplicate now...)
(And the 'General' Sub-Forum is always "correct" if you are "unsure" which Sub-Forum to open your Thread in...)

Hum, OK, but I'm not sure what your "Thank You" means...? :?

You don't give any Explanation and only post a Script... :?
Is this your original Script...?, or have you updated it, and you are now posting your Final (working) Script...? :?

I see many 'WAIT' Statements in it, lots of them actually, and pretty long, I would fall asleep watching your Script run, ah-ah...! :shock: , but no 'EVENT' Statement(s) like I had suggested... Or is the 'WAIT' Statement (=4 Sec) before selecting the 'State<SP>fund' Item in the DDLB already good enough to solve the Issue...?

Watch out btw for the extra Space you add at the end of your Search Input, it could be causing some "Pb"...

Relevant part of your Script... (well, for me):

Good Morning Sir,

Due to server problem, i had used more wait statement. Its take time for each select statement.

As you told EVENT Mode is slower then TAG Mode.
( I don't know how to use )

In INPUT field while typing char and hold on cursor, the list of item shows then we manually select the items. so what i did put the words directly and skip the selecting item.

Code: Select all

TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT ATTR=NAME:ctl00$CPHPage$txtscheme CONTENT=State<SP>fund<SP>
WAIT SECONDS=4
'TAG POS=1 TYPE=TD ATTR=TXT:State<SP>fund

And then sorry for late reply.... :(

Thank You...

=> Hum, I don't see the "Connection" between your 2 Sentences if you don't know how to use the 'EVENT' Mode...!? :?

But "I don't know how to use it" sounds a bit "useless" to me...! :shock:
=> Simply record those Steps using the 'EVENT' Mode in Recording Mode, ah-ah...! :roll:

(If you pay me a Trip to India (you live in India, I think...?), I'm willing to come and spank you in public (oh yeah...!!, you'll love it, ah-ah...! :shock: ), and to write your Script, Live if you want, and give you all Explanation(s)... :idea: )

Hum, maybe cheaper for you, you have an Advanced User from India on the Forum, well, I think they are from India also... => 'access2vivek', with a way to contact them in their Sig... :idea:
Might be easier for you to have some "local" Contact as you don't sound very "fut-fut", that User sounds/sounded pretty good to me, and they could give you a "Training" for a few hours maybe, and maybe On-Site, as you are missing a lot of the "Basics"... OK, just an Idea, but you would learn a lot, I would think...! 8)

I don't mind (too much, ah-ah...!) helping you, but hum, you've now been using iMacros for 3.5 years and you still sound a bit like a complete Beginner each time you encounter the slightest Pb with one of your Scripts... :o I don't know, but you should "progress" a bit quicker... It took me just a few hours (hum, minutes probably) 10 or 12 years ago when I first discovered iMacros, to "solve" Situations like the ones you encounter, each time you open a Thread, and to edit/adapt my Script accordingly..., simply from reading the Wiki, and trying "a few things" myself..., until "it worked"... It's not very "complicated"...
(I didn't even know/thought there was a Forum..., I only discovered the Forum several years later (=> = 5 or 6 years later) when I had one "Blocking" Bug that I really-really couldn't find a Workaround, and I just wanted to report it... (I still found a Workaround later, ah-ah...!, and that Bug has still not been fixed, re-ah-ah...!))

But OK, sorry, but I half-understood your Reply... I'm not sure if you are asking any Qt, reporting any Progress, etc...? :?

Nope, no Notification... I don't think that Functionality is actually supported at all in 'phpBB'...

PM is also disabled on the Forum...

But I had posted a Link to your Profile as you "luckily" have some E-mail Address mentioned in your Sig/Profile, in case @OP might have wanted to contact you directly, if they wanted to get in contact with some "local" Advanced User in their Country and speaking their Language, for some "Speed-Training" or Consultant's Job as they (still) miss a lot of the "Basics", even after using iMacros for several years...
But I guess they didn't try to contact you..., and didn't follow up anymore either in this Thread... :(
