How can I approach towards to select a drop-down option by using the selenium?

 In the context of selenium, here are the steps given below:-

Locate the drop-down element

You can use the selenium for finding the drop-down element by using I ID, name, Xpath, or CSS selector.

Select options by visible text

If the drop-down options are visible text then you can select an option like below.

Select options by index

Alternatively, you can also select an option by its index.

Select an option by value

If the drop-down options have specific values associated with them then you can select by its value.

Handling drop-down with javascript

In some cases, if the above-mentioned strategy doesn’t work reliably then you can use JavaScript for interacting with the drop-down.

Here is the example given below in Python programming language:-

Import org.openqa.selenium.By;

Import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

Import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

Import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

Import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;

Public class DropdownSelection {

    Public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Set the path to the ChromeDriver executable

        System.setProperty(“webdriver.chrome.driver”, “path/to/chromedriver”);

        // Initialize ChromeDriver

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

        // Navigate to the website with the dropdown

        Driver.get(https://example.com);

        // Locate the dropdown element by ID

        WebElement dropdown = driver.findElement(By.id(“countryDropdown”));

        // Create a Select object for the dropdown

        Select select = new Select(dropdown);

        // Select option by visible text

        Select.selectByVisibleText(“United States”);

        // Alternatively, select by index

        // select.selectByIndex(1); // selects the second option

        // Alternatively, select by value

        // select.selectByValue(“US”); // selects the option with value “US”

        // Close the browser

        Driver.quit();

    }

}

# Importing necessary modules from Selenium

From selenium import webdriver

From selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

From selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

From selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

From selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

# Setting up the Chrome webdriver

Driver = webdriver.Chrome()

# Navigating to the website with the dropdown

Driver.get(https://example.com)

# Explicit wait for the dropdown element to be present

Dropdown_locator = (By.ID, “countryDropdown”)

Wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)

Dropdown = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located(dropdown_locator))

# Creating a Select object for the dropdown

Select = Select(dropdown)

# Selecting an option by visible text

Desired_option = “United States”

Select.select_by_visible_text(desired_option)

# Alternatively, selecting an option by index

# select.select_by_index(1)  # selects the second option

# Alternatively, selecting an option by value

# select.select_by_value(“US”)  # selects the option with value “US”

# Closing the browser window

Driver.quit()

Here is the example given in java programming language:-

From selenium import webdriver

From selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

# Initialize the Chrome driver

Driver = webdriver.Chrome()

# Open the website with the dropdown

Driver.get(https://example.com)

# Locate the dropdown element by ID

Dropdown = driver.find_element_by_id(“countryDropdown”)

# Create a Select object for the dropdown

Select = Select(dropdown)

# Select option by visible text

Select.select_by_visible_text(“United States”)

# Alternatively, select by index

# select.select_by_index(1)  # selects the second option

# Alternatively, select by value

# select.select_by_value(“US”)  # selects the option with value “US”

# Close the browser window

Driver.quit()
