While passing a value, system selects a different value from the drop down in selenium web driver.

Following is the code written:-

driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_Users_RadGrid_ctl00_ctl02_ctl03_RCNewJobType_Input']")).click();

driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_Users_RadGrid_ctl00_ctl02_ctl03_RCNewJobType_Input']")).sendKeys(mystring[5]);

driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_Users_RadGrid_ctl00_ctl02_ctl03_RCNewJobType_Input']")).sendKeys(Keys.ARROW_DOWN,Keys.ENTER);

    You can use 'Select' class for selecting value from the drop down unless you don't want to use it. Select class is easier to use while working with drop-down

  • How is that related to Quality Center, if the code is for Selenium/Web Driver.

  • I think you should use selectByValue.

As Minion4 pointed out, you want to use 'select' and not 'sendKeys'. You can select by Value, ID, Index, or Visible Text.

  • I had the same thought. But in this question the user doesn't want to use Select. So was wondering if it could be a similar problem
