So my structure looks like this at some point. I need to select text ShapeCSR having "select" link using xpath. Both these text present in the same line.
<td>
<img class="imHeader" alt="" src="include/img/context/level_dash.gif"></img><img class="imHeader" alt="" src="include/img/context/icon_telco_level.gif"></img>
ShapeCSR
</td>
<td>
…
</td>
<td>
<a id="lnk_LEVEL_2010" href="jfn?isLevel=true&level=L4%3A2010&mfunc=614&cfunc=615&oid=L4%3A2072&ctx=L&jfnRC=5">
Select
</a>
</td>
Your question is not quite specific enough but I'm assuming you have a <table> of <tr> where you want to select the <td> containing "ShapeCSR" when the <tr> contains a <td> with the text "Select" in it.
Try this:
WebElement yourLink = webDriver.findElement(By.xpath("//tr[td/a[contains(text(),'Select')]]/td[contains(text(),'ShapeCSR')]"));

I need to build an xpath that returns my element only if dependency is present on the screen.
I'm currently filtering my element using the following snippet:
//div[contains(text(), 'my element')]
...
<div>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<a>dependency</a>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<div>
<div>my element</div>
</div>
//div[contains(text(), 'my element')][//a[contains(text(), 'dependency')]]
<tr>
<td>AAA</td>
<td>
<a class="btn" role="button"> </a>
<td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>bbb</td>
<td>
<a class="btn" role="button"> </a>
<td>
</tr>
How to select a if tr contains <td>AAA</td>. Perfect if I can do it with XPath. But maybe another way in WebDriver
You can do this using Xpath.
//td[text() = 'AAA']/following-sibling::td/a
This will get find a td which has the text AAA. Then it will select the following td sibling and get the a from this td.
I have a table that looks like this:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th data-th-key="col1"> <span> Foo </span> </th>
<th data-th-key="col2"> <span> Bar </span> </th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<div>
<input data-model-key="col1">
</div>
</td>
<td>
<div>
<input data-model-key="col2">
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
To find the right input element I have to know the data-th-key from the table head. Is there any way to use the first xpath inside the second one?
Xpath one:
//table//thead//span[translate(normalize-space(.),'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')='foo']/parent::th/#data-th-key"
Xpath two:
//table//tbody//tr//td//div//input[#data-model-key='col1']
So I want to replace the col1 value in the second one with Xpath one.
You can write an expression like
//table//tbody//tr//td//div//input[#data-model-key = //table//thead//span[translate(normalize-space(.),'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')='foo']/parent::th/#data-th-key]
yes, that is possible and meaningful and selects the input (or the inputs) whose data-model-key is equal to that data-th-key attribute.
In this example i have this code:
<table class="basicinfo" cellspacing="0">
<tr class="header">
<td colspan="3">
<div>
<h2 class="prod_card">Basic info</h2>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="row2 item">
<td class="cell0">
<div>
Year
</div>
</td>
<td class="cell1">
<div>
2005
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="row3 item alt">
<td class="cell0">
<div>
Extra
</div>
</td>
<td class="cell1">
<div>
-
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Now, i want to get (for example) the year. I'm trying to get the next div content after the div with Year content.
I'm using this xpath without success:
//div[preceding-sibling::div = 'Year']
And anyone knows a good website to start learning xpath? Thanks in advance!
Following XPath
//div[parent::td/preceding-sibling::td//div[normalize-space()= 'Year']]
has the result
<div>2005</div>
Your XPath didn't work because the div you are looking for has not a div element as preceding-sibling but a td as parent. The preceding-sibling::td of this td contains a div which has the text "Year" - td//div. Using normalize-space() returns the text of this div without any spaces which can be necessary when checking for equality.
For reference: normalize-space(), and as you asked for good resources - I don't want to recommend anything special, but you should have a look at the resources mentioned at the info given on stackoverflow here: https://stackoverflow.com/tags/xpath/info (if not already done) and, for XPath axes, this is a good visualization: http://www.xmlplease.com/axis
I have a page with list of jobs jobs offers and every job in list is link to page with job offer.
And I have a problem with Microdata, and my question is, which variant is better?
First variant:
<table itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/JobPosting">
<tr>
<td itemprop="title" itemtype="http://schema.org/JobPosting" itemscope>job 1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td itemprop="title" itemtype="http://schema.org/JobPosting" itemscope>job 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td itemprop="title" itemtype="http://schema.org/JobPosting" itemscope>job 3</td>
</tr>
</table>
Second variant:
<table>
<tr itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/JobPosting">
<td itemprop="title"><a href..>job 1</a></td>
</tr>
<tr itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/JobPosting">
<td itemprop="title"><a href..>job 2</a></td>
</tr>
<tr itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/JobPosting">
<td itemprop="title"><a href..>job 3</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
Your first variant means: There is a JobPosting which has three titles. Each of these titles consists of another JobPosting.
Your second variant means: There are three JobPostings, each one has a title.
So you want to go with your second variant.
Note that you have an error on your current page. Instead of the example contained in your question, on your page you use itemprop="title" on the a element. But then the href value is the title, not the anchor text.
So instead of
<td>
<a itemprop="title" href="…" title="…">…</a>
</td>
<!-- the value of 'href' is the JobPosting title -->
you should use
<td itemprop="title">
<a class="list1" href="…" title="…">…</a>
</td>
<!-- the value of 'a' is the JobPosting title -->
And why not use the url property here?
<td itemprop="title">
<a itemprop="url" href="…" title="…">…</a>
</td>
The second one. The first one is describing a table as JobPosting which isn't a JobPosting.
