Code snippet:
<td class="right odds down"><a class=" betslip" target="unibet" onmouseout="delayHideTip()" onmouseover="page.hist(this,'P-0.00-0-0','24vekxv464x0x4g25d',5,event,1,1)" href="/bookmaker/unibet/betslip//event/1002752206/coupon/single,2133228960,p,[0]">1.70</a></td>
I trying to extract data from a page where the class target is "Unibet".
What would be the correct formatting for this query?
Ive tried:
//*[classtarget="unibet"]//td/a/#class
Well, target is attribute, not class, of element <a>. The XPath to find <td> element and then return the child element <a> where target attribute value equals "unibet" will be :
//td/a[#target='unibet']
if you want to return class attribute of the <a> element instead, simply add a trailing /#class to the above XPath :
//td/a[#target='unibet']/#class

I have this table inside another table inside another table and so on. And then I want to get the text value of the td element with a specific class.
<tr>
<td width="5%"></td>
<td class="wintxt">The XML ....<br/><br/>Number: xyz</td>
</tr>
I need to get the text content "The XML ....Number: xyz"
I tried using:
List<?> submissionString = resultOfsubmissionPage.getByXPath("//tr[#class=\"wintxt\"]/td/text()");
...and many other variations but I always get a zero element List. Anyone has a clue?
There is mistakes with your provided xpath you are searching text() in that row means tr which has class attribute but as your provided HTML only one td has class attribute. So try as below :-
List<?> submissionString = resultOfsubmissionPage.getByXPath("//tr/td[#class='wintxt']/text()");
Hope it helps..:)
What is Valid Xpath for link extract by div class name?
Here is html code:
<div class="poster">
<a href="/title/tt2091935/mediaviewer/rm4278707200?ref_=tt_ov_i"> <img alt="Mr. Right Poster" title="Mr. Right Poster" src="http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BOTcxNjUyOTMwOV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMzUxMDk4NzE#._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_.jpg" itemprop="image">
</a> </div>
I want to know exact Xpath as if i found href link.
I try with //a/#href[#class='poster'] but it's doesn't work
The <div> contains the <a> so you can use that to navigate:
//div[#class='poster']/a/#href
Remember that the "poster" class is defined on the <div> not on the <a> so that's where you need to apply the predicate.
//div returns all <div> elements
[#class='poster'] is a predicate that filters by class
/a returns all <a> elements that are children of those <div>s
/#href gives us the attribute we want
Depending on the system you're using you might need to wrap the whole expression in text() in order to bring back the attribute data rather than the DOM node.
How I can retrieve multiple DIVs (with a given class attribute "a") that contain a span tag with a class attribute "b" by using Xpath?
<div class='a'>
<span class='b'/>
</div>
The structure of my XML is not defined so basically the span could be at any level of the div and the div itself could be at any level of the XML tree.
This should work:
//div[#class='a'][span/#class='b']
// means search anywhere if it starts the expression.
If the span is deeper in the div, use descendant:: which can be shortened to // again:
//div[#class='a'][.//span/#class='b']
I have this piece of html:
<tr>
<td class="has-checkbox">
<input id="abc" class=... value=...>
</td>
<td class="has-label">
<label for="abc">Name1234</label>
</td>
<tr>
I need to make an xpath that gets me the input element, based on whats in the label, in this case Name1234.
In other words, for this case, I need an xpath to the input element, and the path must contain Name1234, as its variable.
Anyone who can help me out here?
//input[#id = //label[. = 'Name1234']/#for] selects input element(s) with an id attribute value equal to the for attribute value of label elements where the contents is Name1234.
You can use /.. , this syntax use to move back to parent node. In your case:
//label[.='Name1234']/../../td/input
You must move back 2 times because input tag is the child of another td tag.
Here are others introduction and example about you should read.
Here is a solution using the Axes parent and preceding-sibling:
//label[.='Name1234']/parent::td/preceding-sibling::td/input
It's not so complicated as you think:
xpath=//tr[//label[.="Name1234"]]//input
in other words, you are looking for the 'tr' which contains 'label' with text "Name1234". If the condition is true, you are getting the 'input' element
I am having trouble returning an element using xpath.
I need to get the text from the 2nd TD from a large table.
<tr>
<td>
<label for="PropertyA">Some text here </label>
</td>
<td> TEXT!! </td>
</tr>
I'm able to find the label element, but then I'm having trouble selecting the sibling TD to return the text.
This is how I select the label:
"//label[#for='PropertyA']"
thanks
You are looking for the axes following-sibling. It searches in the siblings in the same parent - there it is tr. If the tds aren't in the same tr then they aren't found. If you want to it then you can use axes following.
//td[label[#for='PropertyA']]/following-sibling::td[1]
From the label element, it should be:
//label[#for='PropertyA']/following::td[1]
And then use the DOM method from the hosting language to get the string value.
Or select the text node (something I do not recommend) with:
//label[#for='PropertyA']/following::td[1]/text()
Or if there's going to be just this one only node, then you could use the string() function:
string(//label[#for='PropertyA']/following::td[1])
You can also select from the common ancestor tr like:
//tr[td/label/#for='PropertyA']/td[2]
Getting ANY following element:
//td[label[#for='PropertyA']]/following-sibling::*
