Xpath exclude id from a a div - xpath

I've got this xpath expression which selects a div with id called product-details
//DIV[#id='product-details']
Now the problem is that it also selects a div with id called price like this <div id="price"> £705</div>
Which is the express to exclude the above line from the container div?
Thanks

xPath: fetch element with an attribute containing the text of another element

Given I have the following HTML structure:
<button aria-labelledby="ref-1" id="foo" onclick="convey(event)">action 2</button>
<div class="anotherElement">foobar</div>
<div id="ref-1" hidden>target 2</div>
I would like to fetch button by its aria-labelledby attribute. I tried the following options:
//*[#aria-labelledby=string(/div[#id="ref-1"]/#id)]
//*[#aria-labelledby = string(.//*[normalize-space() = "target 2"]/#id)]
//*[#aria-labelledby = .//*[normalize-space() = "target 2"]/#id]
But wasn't able to fetch the element. Anyone has an idea what the right xPath could be?
Edit: simply put: how do I fetch the button element if my only information is "target 2", and if both elements can be randomly located?
//button[#aria-labelledby='ref-1']
or
//button[#aria-labelledby=(//*/#id)]
or
//button[#aria-labelledby=(//*[contains(.,'target 2')]/#id)]
or
//button[#aria-labelledby=(//*[contains(text(),'target 2')]/#id)]
?
Since button and div are the same level siblings here you can use preceding-sibling XPath expression like this:
//div[text()='target 2']//preceding-sibling::button
pay attention with with your actual XML this will match 2 button elements.
To make more precise math I think we will need to be based on more details, not only the target 2 text

XPath selecting specific child element

I've some problem with Xpath syntax with html. I want to select an item which is into a div.
I have a Div define by an id : "popin".
In this div, I have a span with his id is "id_yes".
I can get the div with //DIV[contains(#id ,'popin')] but I failed to get the span element.
Have you a solution ?
If you have the ID, you can use:
//span[#id="id_yes"]
If you want to be more specific, //div[#id="popin"]/span[#id="id_yes"]
That, assuming your IDs are unique.

XPath exclude given class

I'm trying to extract text from a div but excluding a given class:
This is what i'm trying:
$pattern = "//div/#title[not(contains (#class, 'second_card local_impact_icon impact-2'))]";
but its not excluding the given class, i need to extract just the text of title='' but just from the first div title.
This is the html:
<div class="match_info"><div title='Yellow Card' class='local_impact_icon impact-1'></div><div title='Red Card' class='second_card local_impact_icon impact-2'></div></div>
Following XPath
//div/div[not(contains (#class, 'second_card local_impact_icon impact-2'))]/#title
returns
title="Yellow Card"
Simplified explanation - just select the div that doesn't contain the class you want to exclude and retrieve the title attribute for this div only. When you set this exclude at the position ../#title you already are at the title-attributes of both divs.
And as the question is how to retrieve the text - in given example
string(//div/div[not(contains (#class, 'second_card local_impact_icon impact-2'))]/#title)
returns Yellow Card

Xpath: Find an element whose descendant has got a certain attribute value

I have the following elements in a web page. I would like to fetch the element with id "pmt-id-234" which has got a descendant with classname as type2.
<div id="cards">
<div id="pmt-id-123" class="payments">
<div>
<div class="type1">Text1</div>
<div>
</div>
<div id="pmt-id-234" class="payments">
<div>
<div class="type2">Text1</div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
Notes:
I don't know the highlighted part in "pmt-id-123", hence direct query with ID is not possible.
The div with class="typeX" can be nested multiple levels down.
What is tried? The below gives me two div elements.
'//*[#id="cards"]//*[starts-with(#id,"pmt-id-")]'
Now, how to fetch the div which has a descendant div with class="type2"
The following din't yield any results.
'//*[#id="cards"]//*[starts-with(#id,"pmt-id-")//*[contains(#class, "type2")]]'
'//*[#id="cards"]//*[starts-with(#id,"pmt-id-")][contains(#class, "type2")]'
Please let me know how to do this?
I'd test against div rather than * if there are only divs there.
This XPath will select the div under one with an id of cards that has an id that starts with pmt-id- and also has a descendant div of class type2:
'//div[#id="cards"]//div[starts-with(#id,"pmt-id-") and .//div[contains(#class, "type2"]]'
Note that you may have to take extra care with the matching against the #class to avoid matching type22 or abctype2 if such types are possible.

Retrieving a parent tag with a given attribute that contains a subelement by using XPath

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']
