Selecting from div class dropdown - Selenium

Question

I\'m trying to select an option from a drop-down that doesnt populate until the locator has been clicked. This is what I see in Firebug:

div class=\"selectize-i

Follow the below steps to select an item under div tag:

You have to use collections object to store all child elements which are stored under same tag. For Ex if you have below HTML structure:

    

         

             
2000
             
2001
             
2002
             
2003
             
2004
         
    

Write below selenium code:

List lst = driver.findElements(By.xpath());

//In this case it is //div[@id='Year']/div/ul/li

System will store all child elements in the list then you can select any element by index method using

lst.get().click();

if you do not want to find using index but text use Iterator interface to find the element from the collection then click on that element:

Iterator it = lst.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
    WebElement wb  = it.next();
    if(wb.getText().equals()) {
        wb.click();
        break;
    }

}
