Click on dropdown items with Selenium + Python

Question

How should I click on an item in this drop-down menu with Selenium + Python?

<div class="form-group pull-right">
      <select name="per_page" class="form-control" onchange="this.form.submit()">
         <!-- <option value="5" >5</option> -->
         <option value="10">10</option>
         <option value="20">25</option>
         <option value="50">50</option>
         <option value="100" selected="selected">100</option>
      </select>
</div>

Here's my code:

select_obj = Select(driver.find_element_by_class_name('form-control'))
select_obj.select_by_visible_text('100')

I get this error:

Message: Select only works on <select> elements, not on <input>

Answer 1

Use the "name" attribute instead of "class" attribute:

select_obj = Select(driver.find_element_by_name("per_page"))
select_obj.select_by_visible_text("100")

Hope it helps you!
