Im also facing the same error. Unable to select Birthday, Gender & Location in gmail signup page. I'm using Selenium Webdriver.
Please find the below code for birthday.
new Select (driver.findElement(By.id(":0"))).selectByValue("January");
On executing the above code it gives me the below error
Element should have been "select" but was "div".
Following is the complete code.
public class GmailCreate { public static void main(String args[]) throws InterruptedException { WebDriver driver= new FirefoxDriver(); driver.get("http://gmail.com"); //By genderDropdown = By.xpath("//*[@id='Gender']/div"); driver.findElement(By.id("link-signup")).click(); /driver.findElement(By.id("FirstName")).sendKeys("ABC"); driver.findElement(By.id("LastName")).sendKeys("XYZ"); driver.findElement(By.id("GmailAddress")).sendKeys("abcx0429"); driver.findElement(By.id("Passwd")).sendKeys("pass1word123"); driver.findElement(By.id("PasswdAgain")).sendKeys("pass1word123"); //new Select (driver.findElement(By.id(":0"))).selectByValue("January"); //Select gender = new Select(driver.findElement(genderDropdown)); // gender.selectByVisibleText("Male");/
//driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@id='BirthMonth']/div")).click();
Thread.sleep(2000);
// driver.findElement(By.id(":3")).click();
/* driver.findElement(By.id("BirthDay")).sendKeys("26");
driver.findElement(By.id("BirthYear")).sendKeys("1988");
driver.findElement(By.id("RecoveryPhoneNumber")).sendKeys("9876543210");
driver.findElement(By.id("RecoveryEmailAddress")).sendKeys("[email protected]");
if ( !driver.findElement(By.id("SkipCaptcha")).isSelected() )

// Select month
