Select drop down value in Selenium RC

Hi,

Can anyone pls. let me know how to get the value from the select drop down in Selenium RC using IE.

Select drop down has the "name" attribute. Eg. selenium.select("name=paysFG", "label=FRAN");

The above example has the select drop down with the name "paysFG" and the value as "FRAN"

I need to get the value "FRAN" and assign to a variable (using java) during run time.



Thanks.

Hi can you try with below code.Definitely it will helps you.
Enter the drop down value to be select while running the below script.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

import com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium;
public class seleniumRC_selectdropdownvalue{
public static void functionCall(String option) throws Exception
{
DefaultSelenium selenium=new DefaultSelenium("localhost",4444,"*iexplore","http://");
selenium.start();
selenium.open("http://www.quikr.com");
selenium.windowMaximize();
try{
selenium.select("categoryId",option);
System.out.println("Selected Value is: "+option);
}
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e);
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
System.out.println("Enter drop down value to select:");
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String str=br.readLine();
functionCall(str);
}
}
Let me know if you have any problem again with the above code.
Thanks,
