Working with Drop-down list:

Initially you have to import the Select class and afterward you have to make the case of Select class. After making the case of Select class, you can perform select strategies on that occasion to choose the choices from dropdown list.

Importing Select class:

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

For selection:

drop=Select(driver.find_element_by_id(' ')

drop.select_by_index()

Step-by-step approach:

• Import webdriver from selenium module.

Python3

# Import required module
from selenium import webdriver

• Import Select class module.

Python3

# Importing Select class
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select

• Using a web page for drop down list(example: URL).
• Navigate the id of option bar.

• In html, index starts from 0. Here we will select index value 2 for id RESULT_RadioButton-9.

Python3

# Select by index
drop.select_by_index(2)

Below is the complete program of the above approach:

Python3

# Import required module
import time
from selenium import webdriver

# Import Select class
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select



# Using chrome driver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()

# Web page url
driver.get("https://fs2.formsite.com/meherpavan/form2/index.html?1537702596407")



# Find id of option
x = driver.find_element_by_id('RESULT_RadioButton-9')
drop = Select(x)

# Select by index
drop.select_by_index(2)
time.sleep(4)
driver.close()
