<div id="test"><div class="contains"><ul class = "value"><li> 1 </li><li> 2 </li><li> 3 </li></Ul></div></div>
<div id="test"><div class="contains"><ul class = "value"><li> 1 </li><li> 3 </li><li> 6 </li></Ul></div></div>
Please help me...
Here i need to select any value from the second list of li. All the attributes div with ID and class are of same. im unable to select
If you're sure it will always be the second list of li, more acurately the LIs in the UL from the 2nd , you can select these with [2] to select the 2nd div with id=test (by the way, 2 elements should not share IDs...)
./div[#id="test"][2]/div[#class="contains"]/ul[#class="value"]/li

How can i get texts with xpath separately?
Code i tried only gets 1 with all info instead of separate:
Post xpath: div
Title xpath: ./p/strong/child::node()
Desc xpath: ./ul/child::node()
Desired:
Title1
Desc1
Title2
Desc2
Got:
Title1 Title2
Desc1 Desc2
HTML:
<div>
<p><strong>Title1</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Desc1</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Title2</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Desc2</li>
</ul>
</div>
Not really clear what your "Desired" example is representing with pairs labeled 1 and 2, but if you are just trying to select each title text followed by its immediate following ul/li text you can use an expression such as:
//div/p/(
./normalize-space(string()),
./(following-sibling::ul[1])/normalize-space(string()))
For each p it selects the entire text content of the p as string and then selects the immediately following ul sibling of the p and selects its entire string content. This can be easily refined to only select p/strong content (instead of all of the p) and similar for ul/li.
Consider the following HTML:
<div>
<div>I do NOT want this</div>
<div>but I want this</div> <--------- 2
<div>and this</div>
<!-- many more entries -->
<div>and also this last one</div> <--------- last one
</div>
Using XPath I want to select all div/div[from 2 until last one]. How can I do this?
you can use the position method, this should work for you
//div/div[position() > 1]
Given html:
<div class="class1">
<div class="class2">1 2 3</div>
<div class="class3">a b c</div>
</div>
As i have several div elements in my html which uses the class "class1" and none has a id i want to find/fetch this parent element by the text of its children.
I tried different variants like
By.xpath("//div[contains(#class, 'class1') "
+ "and text()[contains(.,'1 2 3')] "
+ "and text()[contains(.,'a b c')]]"));
but nothing seems to work yet.
In the example above i guess the text of the class1 element is checked but not of its children.
Can anybody help?
So you're looking for a div with class class1 that has children with texts 1 2 3 and a b c. From your example of what you've tried, I'm assuming there are no further conditions (eg class) on the children:
//div[#class='class1' and div/text()='1 2 3' and div/text()='a b c']
You can make those children node names into * if you don't care whether they are divs or not. You can make the children node names prefixed by descendant:: if you don't require them to be direct children.
Try any of these below mentioned xpath.
Using class attribute of <div> tag.
//div[#class='class2']/..//div[#class='class3']/..//parent::div[#class='class1']
Explanation of xpath: First locate both child elements using the class attribute of <div> tag and then move ahead with parent keyword with <div> tag along with class attribute.
OR
Using text method along with <div> tag.
//div[text()= '1 2 3']/..//div[text()= 'a b c']/..//parent::div[#class='class1']
Explanation of xpath: First locate both child elements using the text method of <div> tag and then move ahead with parent keyword with <div> tag along with class attribute.
These above xpath will locate your parent element <div class="class1">
I've next structure :
<div id='list'>
<div class='column'>aaa</div>
<div class='column'>bbb</div>
...
<div class='column'>jjj</div>
</div>
I was wonder if there is a ways to use XPath, and to write some query were I can get the index of the requested element within the "list" element.
I mean that I'll ask for location of class='column' where the text value is aaa and I'll get 0 or 1...
Thanks
You could just count the div elements preceding the element you're looking for:
count(div[#id = 'list']/div[#id = 'myid']/preceding-sibling::div)
You can count the preceding siblings:
count(//div[#id="list"]/div[#id="3"]/preceding-sibling::*)
Selenium way to evaluate the position:
int position = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[#class='column' and text()='jjj']/preceding-sibling::div[#class='column']")).size() + 1;
System.out.println(position);
You can count how many "preceding-siblings" that are also of class 'column', by using this xpath:
//div[#class='column' and text()='jjj']/preceding-sibling::div[#class='column']
Im trying to select the content inside a div, this div has some text inside and some additional tags. I dont want to select the first div inside. I was trying with this selector, but only gives me the tags, without text
//div[#class='contentDealDescriptionFacts cf']/div[#class='viewHalfWidthSize' and position()=2]/*[not(#class='subHeadline')]
the div that is giving me problems is this one:
<div class="viewHalfWidthSize">
.......
</div>
<div class="viewHalfWidthSize">
<div class="subHeadline firefinder-match">The Fine Print</div> <----------Except this div I want everything inside of this div!!

</div>
The * matches element nodes and not text nodes. Try replacing * with node() to select all node types.
To break down what your XPath is doing:
You are looking anywhere in the document (//) for a div with class 'contentDealDescriptionFacts cf'.
Then you are looking for the 2nd div under that which also has the class viewHalfWidthSize. Note, this is not the 2nd div that has the class but the div that is 2nd AND has that class, so if the divs with that class are the 3rd and 4th it wouldn't match anything as the 2nd div with the class has position() = 4. If you want the 2nd viewHalfWidthSize div then you'll want [#class='viewHalfWidthSize'][position()=2].
Finally, you are returning a nodelist of all elements without the class subHeadline. If you change the * to node() then you will get a nodelist of all nodes.
The following XPath:
//div[#class='contentDealDescriptionFacts cf']/div[#class='viewHalfWidthSize' and position()=2]/node()[not(name(.)='div' and position() = 1)]
should return what you want as long as the first child node is the div you want to ignore.
If you change it to:
//div[#class='contentDealDescriptionFacts cf']/div[#class='viewHalfWidthSize' and position()=2]/node()[position() != count(../div[1]/preceding-sibling::node()) + 1]
then it should work regardless. It returns your nodelist, then works out how many preceding nodes there are before the first div, and checks the position isn't one greater than that (i.e. position of first div) and excludes that from the list.
As yet another alternative you could just modify your original solution but instead of doing not(#class='subHeadline') you should do
not(contains(concat(' ', #class, ' '), ' subHeadline '))
which will check if the class attribute contains subHeadline anywhere in the string on the assumption that your classes are space separated. This would then match your fragment which has the class "subHeadline firefinder-match"
