Input boxes refer to
either of these two
types:
1. Text Fields- text boxes that accept typed values and show them as
they are.
2. Password Fields- text boxes that accept typed values but mask
them as a series of special characters (commonly dots and

The clear() method is used to delete the text in an input box. This
method does not need any parameter. The code snippet below will

and FALSE if it is toggled off.

Drop-Down Box
open in browser PRO version
Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
[Link]
Before we can control drop-down boxes, we must do following two
things :
1. Import the package [Link]
2. Instantiate the drop-down box as a "Select" object in WebDriver
As an example, go to Mercury Tours' Registration page
([Link] and notice the
"Country" drop-down box there.
Feedback
Your Feedback &
Ideas are very
important to us.
Please share your
suggestions here
Step 1
Import the "Select" package.
open in browser PRO version
Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
[Link]
Step 2
Declare the drop-down element as an instance of the Select class. In
the example below, we named this instance as "drpCountry".
Step 3
We can now start controlling "drpCountry" by using any of the available
Select methods. The sample code below will select the option
"ANTARCTICA".
Selecting Items in a Multiple SELECT element
We can also use the selectByVisibleText() method in selecting
multiple options in a multi SELECT element. As an example, we will
take [Link] as the base URL. It contains a dropdown box that allows multiple selections at a time.

The code below will select the first two options using the
selectByVisibleText() method.

Select Methods
The following are the most common methods used on drop-down
elements.
Method
selectByVisibleText() and
deselectByVisibleText()
Example:
open in browser PRO version
Description
Selects/deselects the option
that displays the text matching
the parameter.
Parameter: The exactly
displayed text of a particular
Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
[Link]
displayed text of a particular
option
selectByValue() and
deselectByValue()
Example:
selectByIndex() and
deselectByIndex()
Example:
open in browser PRO version
Selects/deselects the option
whose "value" attribute
matches the specified
parameter.
Parameter: value of the
"value" attribute
Remember that not all dropdown options have the same
text and "value", like in the
example below.
Selects/deselects the option at
the given index.
Parameter: the index of the
option to be selected.

isMultiple()
Example:
deselectAll()
Example:
Returns TRUE if the drop-down
element allows multiple
selections at a time; FALSE if
otherwise.
Needs parameters needed
Clears all selected entries. This
is only valid when the dropdown element supports
multiple selections.
No parameters needed
Submitting a Form
The submit() method is used to submit a form. This is an alternative
to clicking the form's submit button.
open in browser PRO version
Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
[Link]
You can use submit() on any element within the form, not just on the
submit button itself.
When submit() is used, WebDriver will look up the DOM to know
which form the element belongs to, and then trigger its submit
function.
Summary
The table below summarizes the commands to access each type of
element discussed above.

submit()
WebDriver allows selection of more than one option in a multiple
SELECT element.
To control drop-down boxes, you must first import the
[Link] package and then create a
Select instance.
You can use the submit() method on any element within the form.
WebDriver will automatically trigger the submit function of the form
where that element belongs to.
