How to select an element from a drop down unordered list in Selenium IDE

Question

I'm having trouble selecting a link from this dropdown menu. The html is this:

<li class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-22594"><a href="http://toolsqa.com/automation-practice-form/" data-level="2"><span class="menu-item-text"><span class="menu-text">Automation Practice Form</span></span></a></li>

I've tried

Command: Select Target: class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-22594"

But it's failing. I would like to navigate to the link to test other things on that webpage.

In case of Select class, use normal way of identifying the element. You can use xpath : //span[text()='Automation Practice Form'] to identify element and then click on it. It should work.

Note: We should use Select class when it is present in DOM

To click on the link with text as Automation Practice Form you can use the following xpath :

//a[@href='http://toolsqa.com/automation-practice-form/']/span[@class='menu-item-text']/span[@class='menu-text']
