I have HTML as above and it is drop down list. I have to click on element so I can see all three options and pick last option Value =3. Below is the code I have and it's not working or throwing any error. It's work to the part by clicking the element, but is not selecting the option.

 driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html[1]/body[1]/form[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[2]/td[1]/div[1]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[2]/td[1]/div[1]/div[4]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/div[1]/select[1]').click()

select = Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html[1]/body[1]/form[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[2]/td[1]/div[1]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[2]/td[1]/div[1]/div[4]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/div[1]/select[1]'))
select.select_by_value('3')

To select an element from a html-select menu you have to use the select Class and no need to click on element to select the drop-down value.

Code:

select= Select(driver.find_element_by_xpath('//select[contains(@class,'clsSelectControl')]'))
select.select_by_value(3)

Sometime Select class do not work properly, in those cases we would need JS intervention.

Please try this :

index = '3'
driver.execute_script(f"return document.querySelector('select.clsSelectControl.pv').selectedIndex = {index}")
