Is there a way to select the xpath which doesn't contain ng-show
Please find the xpath below:
I'm familiar with not(contains()), but it has 2 parameters.
I would like it to not contain the ng-showitself, because I have a few more element containing ng-show and I don't want to select any of them.
<span ng-show="displayValue" class="ng-binding">0 km</span>
Thanks in Advance
Try this below xpath
//span[not(#ng-show)][not(#class='percent ng-binding')][#class='ng-binding']
Explanation of xpath:- Only those <span> tag will return, which attribute does not contains ng-show

I need to search for microdata in an html page, and I want to search the elements that have the "itemtype" attribute.
The elements could be:
<div itemtype="...">
Or:
<strong itemtype="...">
I do not know which elements I have to search, I just know that they have to have the "itemtype" attribute.
I found something like this:
(/bookstore/book[#itemtype='US'])[1]
But in my case I don't know the name of the element and the value of the attribute.
How can I find out? Thanks.
To find all the elements that have an itemtype attribute, you can use this XPath expression:
//*[#itemtype]
I am trying to write an xpath expression that selects all div tags that have an attribute id that start with CompanyCalendar. Below is a snippet of the HTML that I am looking at:
<td class="some class" align="center" onclick="Calendar_DayClicked(this,'EventCont','Event');">
<span class="Text"></span>
<div id="CompanyCalendar02.21" class="Pop CalendarClick" style="right: 200px; top: 235px;"></div>
There are multiple divs that have an id like CompanyCalendar02.21 but for each new month in the calendar, they change the id. For example, the next month would be CompanyCalendar02.22. I would like to be able to select all of the divs that are equal to CompanyCalendar*
I am rather new at this so I was using some example off the net to try and get my xpath expression to work but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am trying to write an xpath expression that selects all div tags that have an attribute id that start with CompanyCalendar.
The following expression is perhaps what you are looking for:
//div[starts-with(#id,'CompanyCalendar')]
What it does, in plain English, is
Return all div elements in the XML document that have an attribute id whose attribute value starts with "CompanyCalendar".
While checking in Browser console with the $x() call, it worked only after flipping the quotes - i.e. double quotes inside the Xpath starts-with() call.
$x('//div[starts-with(#id,"CompanyCalendar")]')
I have this html code , trying many times to get the pure xpath for text "sample text" then "author" text in separate xpath and i don't find any criteria for that!!!
<div class="Text">
“sample article here with quotation marks .”
<br/>
―
Author
so please help , it make me mad!!
thanks
The first part you can get by getting the div by class, get br inside and retrieve the preceding-sibling's text:
//div[#class="Text"]/br/preceding-sibling::text()
The second part is easier, just get the text of a tag inside the div:
//div[#class="Text"]/a/text()
I am trying to click on the link whose site is www.qualtrapharma.com by searching in google
"qualtra" but there is problem in writing xpath as <cite> tag contains <B> tag inside it. How to do any any one suggest?
<div class="f kv" style="white-space:nowrap">
<cite class="vurls">
www.
<b>qualtra</b>
pharma.com/
</cite>
<div>
You may overcome this by using the '.' in the XPath, which stands for the 'text in the current node'.
The XPath would look like the following:
//cite[.='www.qualtrapharma.com/']
I have some html that looks pretty much like this.
<p>
<a img src="img src">
<strong>foo</strong>
<strong>bar</strong>
<strong>baz</strong>
<strong>eek</strong>
This is the text I want to select using xpath.
</p>
How can I select only this particular text node as indicated above using xpath?
How do I get at only this particular
text element in question using xpath?
Use:
/p/text()[last()]
"/p/text()" xpath expression will select the text from "p" node in above XML (Posted in question).
/p/text()[normalize-space()]
this will remove trailing spaces from string. This xpath produces exactly what you want.
There is very good tutorial at http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/
