select value from drop down code example

Example 1: select in selenium java

// Create object of the Select class
Select se = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='oldSelectMenu']")));
 
// Select the option with value "6"
se.selectByValue("6");

Example 2: How to select a value in a dropdown

How do you handle Select type of dropdown?
    - If it is <select> we would have to use Select class from Selenium.
    - Methods to select from dropdown:
    Select s = new Select(element);
        - s.selectByVisibleText
        - s.selectByValue
        - s.selectByIndex 
--> How do we verify which option is selected in a dropdown?
    - If we want to get the currently selected option, 
    we use getFirstSelectedOption() method.
   
        -> return type: currently selected option as a web element
--> .getOptions();
    -> This method will return all of the options in the <select> web element.
    -> return type: List<WebElement>

Example 3: selected dropdown value

Plain JavaScript:
===================
var e = document.getElementById("elementId");
var value = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value;
var text = e.options[e.selectedIndex].text;
---------------------------------------------------------
jQuery:
=======
$("#elementId :selected").text(); // The text content of the selected option
$("#elementId :selected").val(); // The value of the selected option

Example 4: select statement in selenium

import org.openqa.selenium.By;		
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;		
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;		

public class MyClass {				
    		
    public static void main(String[] args) {									
        String baseUrl = "http://demo.guru99.com/test/link.html";					
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","G:\\chromedriver.exe");					
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();					
        		
        driver.get(baseUrl);					
        driver.findElement(By.linkText("click here")).click();					
        System.out.println("title of page is: " + driver.getTitle());							
        driver.quit();			
    }
