I'm brand new to selenium webdriver for python, and I've run into a problem I can't solve. I've searched for an answer, but didn't see anything. I apologize if I've missed it.

We had the following command in a selenium IDE script:

getEval | window.$("#DestList option").attr('selected','selected')

In my webdriver python script, I made that command look like this:

driver.execute_script("return window.$("#DestList option").attr('selected','selected')")

When I run the python script, whatever line follows the execute_script line gets an error:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Which leads me to believe something is missing from my execute_script command. Can someone tell me what might be missing or where I'm going wrong?

thanks in advance for your help and patience.

Ed

It is just about the quotes inside the script, fix it (tested, worked for me):

driver.execute_script("return window.$('#DestList option').attr('selected','selected')")
