deselectByIndex( ) command is used to deselect the list option using the specified Index of the List Option from the multi-selection Box field.
Index value starts from 0.
- If you specify the Index value as 0, the First List option in the Multi-Selection Box will get deselected
- If you specify the Index value as 1, the Second List option in the Multi-Selection Box will get deselected
- And so on....
Test Description:
Follow the below steps to understand the Test Description:
1. Open http://compendiumdev.co.uk/selenium/basic_html_form.html
2. Observe that the 'Selection Item 4' option is selected by default as shown below:
3. Remove this default selection by using the Selenium WebDriver command deselectByIndex( )
After creating an object for Select Class, you can get the deselectByIndex( ) predefined method of Select Class by using its object select as shown below:
select.deselectByIndex(3); -> This will deselect the fourth list option
3. Save and Run the 'Class47.java' file by selecting the 'JUnit Test' option and ensure that our Automation Test has deselect the list option of the specified index from the Multi-select Box field as shown in the below video:

2. Observe that the 'Selection Item 4' option is selected by default as shown below:
3. Remove this default selection by using the Selenium WebDriver command deselectByIndex( )
In order to use the deselectByIndex( ) command, we have to create an object for Select class of selenium as shown below:
Select select = new Select(_driver.findElement(By.cssPath("CSS Path of Multi-Select Box field")));
Select select = new Select(_driver.findElement(By.cssPath("CSS Path of Multi-Select Box field")));
- Here Select is the Class name
- select is the object of Select Class
After creating an object for Select Class, you can get the deselectByIndex( ) predefined method of Select Class by using its object select as shown below:
select.deselectByIndex(3); -> This will deselect the fourth list option
Lets Implement This:
