title: Selecting multiple options from drop down menu using selenium in python
body: <p>Tried searching but did not find any working solutions for this. I have a drop down menu as follows where I'd like to select multiple options at once:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;select name="Area" multiple="" size="5" class="sel0"
  onchange="opbygQvar('Area',dummyArray,false,true,false)"&gt;
  &lt;option value=""&gt;(blankstil)
  &lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="1"&gt;1 A
  &lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="2"&gt;2 B
  &lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="3"&gt;3 C
  &lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="4"&gt;4 D
  &lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="5"&gt;5 E
  &lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="6"&gt;6 F
  &lt;/option&gt;&lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Trial Code:</strong> </p>
  
  <pre><code>driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@name='Area']/option[text()='1 A']").click()
  driver.find_element_by_xpath("//select[@name='Area']/option[text()='2 B']").click()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>only selects one option and then changes selection to a different one instead of keeping multiple options checked.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is highly appreciated - thanks in advance :)</p>
