Thanks a lot for your reply.

But I’m able to create a select and use it. My main problem is how to create an automated test to simulate this cenario using elm-test.

So with buttons I’m able to test them very easily with: Event.simulate Event.click

My problem is how to do something similar to this with a select.

Anyway, your example will help me with another problem I’m having, so thank you 🙂
