  1. Hi,
    In the above same scenario I want to click all options under the bootstrap dropdown but for my case first condition under for loop is working but when I try to click for second option in that dropdown then stale element exception is throwing. My code is –

    driver.findElement(By.xpath(“xxx”).click(); //click on drop down
    List listOfOptions = driver.findElements(By.xpath(“/html/body/div[5] /div/table/tbody/tr/td/div/table/tbody/tr/td”));

    int NumberOfOptions = listOfOptions.size();

    for(int i=1;i<NumberOfOptions;i++){

    if(listOfOptions.get(i).getText() .contains("Dog")) {

    listOfOptions.get(i).click();
    break;
    }
    }
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("xxx").click(); // clicking the dropdown again to show the options

    for(int i=1;i<NumberOfOptions;i++){

    if(listOfOptions.get(i).getText().contains("Cat")){

    listOfOptions.get(i).click(); // here getting the stale element exception
    break;
    }
    }
    ================
    I am not sure my code is correct or not. Please help me.
