Select Option from Drop-Down Box<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Following is a step-by-step process on how to select value from dropdown in Selenium.<\/p>\n
Before handling dropdown in Selenium and controlling drop-down boxes, we must do following two things.<\/p>\n
\n
Import packages org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select<\/strong><\/li>\n
Instantiate the drop-down box as an object, Select in Selenium WebDriver<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to inspect web element for Drop-Down box.<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Inspect element and check if there is Select <\/strong>tag associated with that web element which clearly indicates that we can use Select<\/strong> class of Selenium web driver and create object of that class and work with that to take actions on that drop down.<\/p>\n
Let us check sample code for Select Drop down using selectByIndex()<\/strong> method.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 driver.manage().window().maximize();<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 }

Selecting Items in a Multiple SELECT elements.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
We can use any methods in order to select multiple elements, selectByIndex(), selectByValue() & selectByVisibleText().<\/strong><\/p>\n
