Accepted Answer

DatePicker are not `Select` element. What your doing in your code is wrong.

Datepicker are in fact table with set of rows and columns.To select a date you just have to navigate to the cell where our desired date is present.

So your code should be like this:

```
WebElement dateWidget = driver.findElement(your locator);
List<WebElement> columns=dateWidget.findElements(By.tagName("td"));

for (WebElement cell: columns){
   //Select 13th Date 
   if (cell.getText().equals("13")){
      cell.findElement(By.linkText("13")).click();
      break;
 }
```
