Hi,

There are 3 types of Drop down.

1) select By Value

2) select By Index.

3)select by visible text.

Based on these Categories, u can select he dropdown Easily.

For Eg. In case u want to select the Third option in Dropdown out of Four Drop dopwn list means, u want to count the Order From Last to First. So u can use the Drop down Index as" driver.FindElement(By.name("department")).selectbyindex(2);

Hi Gokul,

Thanks for ur reply.

I used first method "select by value",

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("department"));
Select se1 = new Select(element);
se1.selectByValue("14");

This code working fine now...

Hi,

If your asking about select an item from auto suggestion list means use the below process......

public void test() throws Exception{

WebElement textBoxElement = driver.findElement("---");
textBoxElement.sendKeys("a");
Thread.sleep(3000);
String OptionName = "JavaScript";
selectOptionWithText(OptionName);

}

public void selectOptionWithText(String texttoSelect) {

try{

WebElement autoOptions = driver.findElement(By.id("----"));
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(autoOptions));
List<WebElement> OptionsToSelect = autoOptions.findElements(By.tagName("li"));
for(WebElement Option: OptionsToSelect){

if(Option.getText().equalsIgnoreCase(texttoSelect)){

System.out.println("Trying to select" + texttoSelect );
Option.click();
break;
}

}

}
catch(NoSuchElementException e){
System.out.println(e.getStackTrace());
}
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e.getStackTrace());

} }

use this one and modify it as you like...i think this will help full to u .....correct me if am wrong.....

Hi,

Method 1-

new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("collegeId"))).selectByVisibleText("DAV College");

[Here 'collegeId' is your dropdown's id. 'DAV College' is your dropdown value to be selected. You can use other methods also to select the dropdown value like - 'selectByValue' etc..]

Method 2-

Creating the Select object first then using it-

Select drop_con = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("countryId1"))); // Replace "countryId1" with your dropdown id
drop_con.selectByVisibleText("INDIA"); // Replace 'INDIA' with your value

Method 3-

Using JavascriptExecutor-

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
js.executeScript("document.getElementById('countryId1').style.display='block';");

new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("collegeId"))).selectByVisibleText("INDIA"); 

Finally you can use 'WAIT' if required.
