Hi Everybody…

I am new to Ruby, Watir

i am automating a web based application

1. My web page has Drop down list box or Select list box
2. It has 10 items ( Eg: 10 Diff car names Audi, BMW, Mazda etc) or it  
can contain N of Cars also

Scenario

1. After selecting the car, the page gets refreshed and i have to write  
the details of the car in the Excel sheet …like this it happens for  
every car  
before this i have know No of Car available in the List;
2. After having the Car Count can loop for N no of Cars

is there anyway to Count no of items in the Select List using the VALUE

1st CAR : Value = 0  
2nd CAR : Value = 1  
3rd CAR : Value = 2  
4th CAR : Value = 3

Please help me out

Regards  
Rafiq
