A similar option to what was posted above by janderson would be so simply use the  GetAttribute method in selenium 2  Using this  you can grab any item that has a specific value or label that you are looking for  This can be used to determine if an element has a label  style  value  etc  A common way to do this is to loop through the items in the drop down until you find the one that you want and select it  In C    int items   driver FindElement By XPath    path to drop Down    Count     for int i   1  i  lt   items  i          string value   driver FindElement By XPath    path to drop Down option   i       GetAttribute  Value1        if value Conatains  Label I am Looking for                  driver FindElement By XPath    path to drop Down option   i       Click               Clicked on the index of the that has your label   value
