How to select the Date Picker In Selenium WebDriver

Question

Currently working on Selenium WebDriver and using Java. I want to select values in date range from the drop down.. I want to k

Answer 1

I think this could be done in a much simpler way:

1. Find the locator for the Month (use Firebug/Firepath)
2. This is probably a Select element, use Selenium to select Month
3. Do the same for Year
4. Click by linkText "31" or whatever date you want to click

So code would look something like this:

WebElement month = driver.findElement(month combo locator);
Select monthCombo = new Select(month);
monthCombo.selectByVisibleText("March");

WebElement year = driver.findElement(year combo locator);
Select yearCombo = new Select(year);
yearCombo.selectByVisibleText("2015");

driver.click(By.linkText("31"));

This won't work if the date picker dropdowns are not Select, but most of the ones I've seen are individual elements (select, links, etc.)
