title: Trouble selecting dropdown menu with selenium and python
body: <p>I am trying access a page which requires me to select an option from a drop down menu.</p>
  
  <p>When i run my code atm, I get an error where it says it was unable to locate the drop down element by id. I do not know how to remedy this situation, as I am copying and pasting the elements id.</p>
  
  <pre><code>from selenium import webdriver
  from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select
  import time
  
  driver = webdriver.Firefox()
  driver.get('http://webapp.northampton.edu/coursesearch/default.aspx')
  time.sleep(1)
  dropdown = driver.find_element_by_id('pg0_V_ddlTerm')
  select_box = Select(dropdown)
  time.sleep(1)
  select_box.select_by_value('2015;S2')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also tried selecting by name, but that also proved fruitless. 
  Once I select the dropdown I am attempting to select the option S2 2015. </p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your help!</p>
  
  <p>Edit: I put in the time.sleep because I thought perhaps the website wasn't fully loaded by the time is was trying to select the drop down.</p>
