Hello all I have a select where it was binded as follows in UI

<div class="choices form-group form-choices" data-type="select-one" dir="ltr" tabindex="-1" role="listbox" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
 <div class="form-control ui fluid selection dropdown" tabindex="0">
  <select lang="en" class="form-control choices__input" type="text" name="data[serviceAmpsDelivered]" ref="selectContainer" dir="ltr" hidden="" tabindex="-1" data-choice="active">
   <option value="6"><span>60</span></option>
  </select>
  <div class="choices__list choices__list--single">
   <div class="choices__item choices__item--selectable" data-item="" data-id="38" data-value="6" data-custom-properties="null" aria-selected="true" data-deletable="">
    <span>60</span>
    <button type="button" class="choices__button" aria-label="Remove item: '6'" data-button="">Remove item</button>
   </div>
  </div>
 </div>
 <div class="choices__list choices__list--dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
  <div class="choices__list" role="listbox">
   <div id="choices--data-oa-item-choice-1" class="choices__item choices__item--choice choices__item--selectable is-highlighted" role="option" data-choice="" data-id="1" data-value="1" data-select-text="" data-choice-selectable="" aria-selected="true">
    <span>50</span>
   </div>
   <div id="choices--data-oa-item-choice-2" class="choices__item choices__item--choice choices__item--selectable " role="option" data-choice="" data-id="2" data-value="6" data-select-text="" data-choice-selectable="">
    <span>60</span>
   </div>
   <div id="choices--data-oa-item-choice-3" class="choices__item choices__item--choice choices__item--selectable " role="option" data-choice="" data-id="3" data-value="2" data-select-text="" data-choice-selectable="">
    <span>100</span>
   </div>
   <div id="choices--data-oa-item-choice-4" class="choices__item choices__item--choice choices__item--selectable " role="option" data-choice="" data-id="4" data-value="5" data-select-text="" data-choice-selectable="">
    <span>150</span>
   </div>
   <div id="choices--data-oa-item-choice-5" class="choices__item choices__item--choice choices__item--selectable " role="option" data-choice="" data-id="5" data-value="3" data-select-text="" data-choice-selectable="">
    <span>200</span>
   </div>
   <div id="choices--data-oa-item-choice-6" class="choices__item choices__item--choice choices__item--selectable " role="option" data-choice="" data-id="6" data-value="4" data-select-text="" data-choice-selectable="">
    <span>400</span>
   </div>
  </div>
 </div>

I am able to select the div and the dropdown gets opened but I am unable to select the item

WebElement srvcAmpsDelivered = (WebElement)driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//select[contains(@name,'data[serviceAmpsDelivered]')]"));
            Helper.JavaScriptClick(driver, srvcAmpsDelivered);

but unable to choose the items which is inside div. This way it works but if I want to change the value I have to code it N times

What I have tried:

Actions act = new Actions(_driver); act.SendKeys(Keys.Down).Perform(); act.SendKeys(Keys.Down).Perform(); Thread.Sleep(1000); act.SendKeys(Keys.Enter).Perform();`

Hi Graeme_Grant I tried those options but didn't worked

All of them? Try manually using a CSS style selector to set the color of the element to check that you have it right.

Yes the problem the binding of dropdown is a bit different, if you look at the HTML it reads the options from div and adding it to select. Not sure what was the back end code behind this but I am unable to select the respective value

OK I got the solution after some trail and errors

WebElement ddlControl= (WebElement)_driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//select[contains(@name,'controlName"));
Helper.JavaScriptClick(_driver, ddlControl);
TimeSpan timeToWait = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 10);
WebDriverWait waitForElemet = new WebDriverWait(_driver, timeToWait);
waitForElemet.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementToBeClickable(By.XPath("//div[contains(@id,'ControlId')]//following::span[text()='50']"))).Click();
