@soumyadeep_c Ah, when an element looks like a drop-down, but isn’t a drop-down, you cannot select it using standard methods.

That element is a complex combination of (I’m guessing from the photo):

  • An IFRAME
  • DIVs and SPANs
  • INPUT type of CHECKBOX
  • INPUT type of BUTTON or BUTTON tags
  • INPUT type of TEXT

All wrapped up with JavaScript. 

It will just take time to figure it out. When capturing an object, look closely at the type of object that was captured. You’re expecting a <SELECT><OPTION>… combination and that’s not what that is.
