OK, I have found a solution myself. Page Should Not Contain Element , keyword helps and use as follow Page Should Not Contain Element "Xpath" (use Xpath if you have 2 argument) xpath=//*[@id="InvestmentCollectionForm:selectedInvestmentId"]/../../td/select/option[@value='26']

Run Keyword And Expect Error is your friend. So try to select Elephant from the combo box and expect that to fail.

You can point combo element, get all values by tag name and search by foreach if value is there. C#

public bool IsValuePresentInCombo(string comboId, string comboValue)
{
    var combo = Driver.FindElement(By.Id(comboId));
    foreach (var item in combo.FindElements(By.TagName("option")))
    {
        if (item.GetAttribute("value") == comboValue)
        {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}
