Selenium WebDriver - get options from hidden select

Answer 1

It is possible to select elements in firebug with "display: none;" attribute. They will not be outlined on the page, but in the html tree structure.

Then, verify that you found element propertly with firebug

String optn=select[name="fw3k_ad_input_et_type_group"] option[value="0"]
//optn1=select[name="fw3k_ad_input_et_type_group"] option[value="-1"]
//optn2=select[name="fw3k_ad_input_et_type_group"] option[value="16390"]
//optn3=select[name="fw3k_ad_input_et_type_group"] option[value="17605"]
//optn4=select[name="fw3k_ad_input_et_type_group"] option[value="17636"]

then try to use jscript executor (should always work not taking into consideration whether element visible or not)

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
        StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();

stringBuilder.append("var x = $(\""+optn+"\");");
        stringBuilder.append("return x.text().toString();")       ;


       String res= (String) js.executeScript(stringBuilder.toString());

Hope this work for you)
