Select select = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//path_to_drop_down")));select.deselectAll();select.selectByVisibleText("Value1");To get the first selected value:
WebElement option = select.getFirstSelectedOption()
driver.findElement(By.id("id_dropdown_menu")).click();driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath_from_seleniumIDE")).click();
