[lavanya kadiyala]

Hi,
I am using selenium ide.
can somebody tell me how to verify the default option selected in a
dropdown.

I have a dropdown with 5 options. By default the 1st option is
selected.
I want to verify that.

thanks,
Lavanya.

you can use the normal select command with the label mentioning the default value

You can check to see which option has the selected attribute, or you can get
the text of the one with the selected attribute e.g.

String foo =
Selenium.getText("//select[@id='bar']/option[@selected='selected']");

Regards

Mark

I have tried the following:

|storeSelectedLabel |
ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderDefault_QuestContentPlaceHolder_DPMultiSearch_8_SFCNumberDestinations_uxNumOfDest
| y |
|echo | ${y} | |

output: log:

You need:

verifySelectedIndex | <locator> | <index-of-default-selected-option>

For example:

verifySelectedIndex
//select[@name='topnav']
0

used on www.foothill.edu ensures that the very first option in the
Quick Links drop-down is the one selected.
