Its not a dropdown. It a menu, You can use Actions class to select the sub-menu you want. use below code :

Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.id("highlight-addons"))).clickAndHold(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li/a[contains(text(),'SpiceMax')]"))).click().build().perform();

actually its not working, System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","D:\\chromegecko\\chromedriver.exe\\"); WebDriver driver= new ChromeDriver(); driver.get("http://www.spicejet.com/"); driver.manage().window().maximize(); Actions action = new Actions(driver); action.moveToElement(driver.findElement(By.id("highlight-addons"))).clickAndHold(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//li/a[contains(text(),'SpiceMax')]"))).click().build().perform(); Thread.sleep(5000); } } – Akula Bhaskar Dec 15 '17 at 10:03

To select a value from the DropDown, you have to first Mouse Hover the WebElement ADD-ONS, then to select SpiceClub Membership Offer you can use the following code block :

WebElement elem = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@id='highlight-addons']"));
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.moveToElement(elem).perform();
List<WebElement> items = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//ul[@class='add-ons-tab']/li/a"));
for(WebElement myitem:items)
{
    if(myitem.getAttribute("innerHTML").contains("Membership"))
    {
        myitem.click();
        break;
    }
}

it worked but my question is u have used "//ul[@class='add-ons-tab']/li/a" and when i used that x path it was showing 1 of 21 elements so why selenium not throwing exception ? – Akula Bhaskar Dec 14 '17 at 20:46
can you explain attribute("inner html") ? – Akula Bhaskar Dec 14 '17 at 21:02
@AkulaBhaskar If using "//ul[@class='add-ons-tab']/li/a" showed you `1 of 21 elements`, it was correct. As my Answer have worked, please **`Accept`** the **`Answer`** by clicking on the tick mark beside my answer which is just below the `VoteDown` arrow, so the tick mark turns green. Thanks – undetected Selenium Dec 15 '17 at 07:21
yes it worked but i dont see the option to accept,Can you tell me? – Akula Bhaskar Dec 15 '17 at 08:07
Can u please let me know the concept of inner html "DebanjanB – Akula Bhaskar Dec 15 '17 at 09:57
`getAttribute("innerHTML")` is the purest form of `getText()` in a much cleanner way. – undetected Selenium Dec 15 '17 at 10:03
