Hello All,
in my web page, i am trying to select an option from drop
down..
for that i am trying with
Select selectBox = new
Select(Globals.driver.findElement(By.xpath("XPATH of the dropdown")));
selectBox.selectByValue("value to select");

but this is giving following error:
org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.UnexpectedTagNameException: Element should

    If you have Multiple drop-down elements then go with Data-driven techniques.

    Hi Satyendra,
    The Select Class will only be useful if the DropDown is constructed with
    'Select' tag.In your case, Probably the Xpath of the Dropdown doesn't has
    this. Check your html source code of the dropdown.

    The Syntax and Usage of Select Class is as defined...
    Select(*webelement*)[source]<http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/py/_modules/selenium/webdriver/support/select.html#Select>
    ¶<http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/py/webdriver_support/selenium.webdriver.support.select.html#selenium.webdriver.support.select.Select>

    Constructor. A check is made that the given element is, indeed, a SELECT
    tag. If it is not, then an UnexpectedTagNameException is thrown.
    Args :

    - webelement - element SELECT element to wrap
