Working with Dropdown using Selenium Webdriver

Working with Dropdown using Selenium Webdriver

Just wrap your WebElement into Select Object as shown below

Select dropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("identifier")));
Once this is done you can select the required value in 3 ways. Consider an HTML file like this

Below is the drop down :)
MD Programmer CEO

Now to identify dropdown do

Select dropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("designation")));

To select its option say 'Programmer' you can do

dropdown.selectByVisibleText("Programmer ");

or

 dropdown.selectByIndex(1);

or

  dropdown.selectByValue("prog");
