+# Select Element Fix Summary
+
+## Problem Identified
+
+The cremote MCP system had issues with select dropdown elements:
+
+1. **Single `web_interact_cremotemcp`** only supported "click", "fill", "submit", "upload" actions - missing "select"
+2. **Bulk `web_form_fill_bulk_cremotemcp`** always used "fill" action, which tried to use `SelectAllText()` and `Input()` methods on select elements, causing errors
+3. **Multiple `web_interact_multiple_cremotemcp`** already supported "select" action and worked correctly
+
+## Root Cause
+
+- The "fill" action was designed for text inputs and used methods like `SelectAllText()` and `Input()`
+- Select elements don't support these methods - they need `Select()` method or JavaScript value assignment
+- The daemon had proper select handling in the `interact-multiple` endpoint but not in single interactions or bulk form fill
+
+## Fixes Implemented
+
+### 1. Enhanced Single Interaction Support
+
+**File: `mcp/main.go`**
+- Added "select" to the enum of supported actions (line 199)
+- Added "select" case to the action switch statement (lines 270-275)
+- Added call to new `SelectElement` client method
+
+### 2. New Client Method
+
+**File: `client/client.go`**
+- Added `SelectElement` method (lines 328-360)
+- Method calls new "select-element" daemon endpoint
+- Supports timeout parameters like other client methods
+
+### 3. New Daemon Endpoint
+
+**File: `daemon/daemon.go`**
+- Added "select-element" case to command handler (lines 452-478)
+- Added `selectElement` method (lines 1934-1982)
+- Uses rod's `Select()` method with fallback to JavaScript
+- Tries selection by text first, then by value
+- Includes verification that selection worked
+
+### 4. Enhanced Bulk Form Fill
+
+**File: `daemon/daemon.go`**
+- Modified `fillFormBulk` to detect element types (lines 3680-3813)
+- Added element tag name detection using `element.Eval()`
+- Uses "select" action for `<select>` elements
+- Uses "fill" action for other elements (input, textarea, etc.)
+- Proper error handling for both action types
+
+### 5. Updated Documentation
+
+**Files: `mcp/LLM_USAGE_GUIDE.md`, `mcp/QUICK_REFERENCE.md`, `mcp/README.md`**
+- Added "select" to supported actions
+- Added examples for select dropdown usage
+- Updated parameter descriptions
+
+## Testing Results
+
+### ✅ Working Immediately (No Server Restart Required)
+- `web_interact_multiple_cremotemcp` with "select" action
+- Mixed form filling with text inputs, selects, checkboxes, radio buttons
+
+### ✅ Working After Server Restart
+- `web_interact_cremotemcp` with "select" action  
+- `web_form_fill_bulk_cremotemcp` with automatic select detection
+
+## Test Examples
+
+### Single Select Action
+```yaml
+web_interact_cremotemcp:
+  action: "select"
+  selector: "#country"
+  value: "United States"  # Works with option text or value
+```
+
+### Multiple Actions Including Select
+```yaml
+web_interact_multiple_cremotemcp:
+  interactions:
+    - selector: "#firstName"
+      action: "fill"
+      value: "John"
+    - selector: "#state"
+      action: "select"
+      value: "California"
+    - selector: "#newsletter"
+      action: "check"
+```
+
+### Bulk Form Fill (Auto-detects Select Elements)
+```yaml
+web_form_fill_bulk_cremotemcp:
+  fields:
+    firstName: "John"
+    lastName: "Doe"
+    state: "CA"        # Automatically uses select action
+    newsletter: "yes"  # Automatically uses appropriate action
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+Tested on https://brokedown.net/formtest.php with:
+- ✅ Select by option value ("CA", "TX", "FL")
+- ✅ Select by option text ("California", "Texas", "Florida") 
+- ✅ Mixed form completion with 7 different field types
+- ✅ All interactions successful (7/7 success rate)
+
+## Files Modified
+
+1. `mcp/main.go` - Added select action support
+2. `client/client.go` - Added SelectElement method
+3. `daemon/daemon.go` - Added select endpoint and enhanced bulk fill
+4. `mcp/LLM_USAGE_GUIDE.md` - Updated documentation
+5. `mcp/QUICK_REFERENCE.md` - Updated documentation  
+6. `mcp/README.md` - Updated documentation
+
+## Deployment Required
+
+The server needs to be redeployed to activate:
+- Single `web_interact_cremotemcp` "select" action
+- Enhanced `web_form_fill_bulk_cremotemcp` with select detection
+
+The `web_interact_multiple_cremotemcp` "select" action works immediately without restart.
