The default value of dropdown in selenium web driver can be selected in the following way:

String a = driver.findElement (By. xpath ( "//select [@ id='eehdlt1']" ) ) . getText() ;

System.out.println ("The Default value selected is : " + a) ;

• First of all, it should be checked if the accurate import statement is used on a select statement or not. The correct statement should be :

import org. openqa. selenium. support. ui. Select ;
