Selenium IDE command to execute a javascript statement: runScript with the javascript statement as argument.

Example (can be run on Google startpage):

<tr>
  <td>runScript</td>
  <td>document.getElementById('searchText').setAttribute("value", "hello");</td>
  <td></td>
</tr>

That should be accepted answer based on "Which selenium IDE command should I user to execute a javascript statement" title. However description has mention of dropdown and in this particular case there is no need to execute JS but rather use "select" command mentioned by @houss below. – AlexHalkin Feb 25 '16 at 21:41

You can run a script (like above) and set the option you want to "selected".

You can also do it with the selenium select command:

Command:  select
Target:  id="yourDropDownId"
Value:  label="yourOption"

or html source

<tr>
  <td>select</td>
  <td>id="yourDropDownId"</td>
  <td>label="yourOption"</td>
</tr>

Assuming the dropdown has id myDropdown and the value you want to select is valueToSelect, try this:

selenium.select("//select[@id='myDropdown']", "label=valueToSelect");
