I need to detemine xpath for element mainForm:queryConfigure:fetchReport.
<span id="mainForm:queryConfigure:j_id18">
<table id="mainForm:queryConfigure:j_id19"
class="showReportTable" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<input id="mainForm:queryConfigure:fetchReport" type="image"
src="images/show_report.gif" name="mainForm:queryConfigure:fetchReport"/>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</span>
I tried
selenium.click("//input[#id='mainForm:queryConfigure:fetchReport'][#type='image'][#src='images/show_report.gif']");
and
selenium.click("//input[#id='mainForm:queryConfigure:fetchReport']");
One more case:
<div class="tabUnselectedText" align="center">
Notifications
</div>
Id and name attribute values are acceptable locators for method click. See locating elements in the documentation.
selenium.click('mainForm:queryConfigure:fetchReport');

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')]]
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 am struggling to grab the artist and track name data from these tables as they are identical! Does anyone know how I can do this? Another thing is picking up URL data, this doesn't seem to return either. I have got all the rest of the fields, just stuck on these, any help would be gladly received. (The info here: <td class="r-pad">)
<tr data-trid="**1350474**" class="ptk-1350474 play-trk">
<td class="tnum-td">
<div class="tnum-ppl-cont">
<div class="tnum">1</div>
<div class="play-fly"></div>
</div>
</td>
<td class="thumb"><div class="thumb-cont"><img src="http://static.example.com/scripts/image.php/44x44/240148.jpg" /><img src="http://w-static.example.com/img/promo_large.png" class="**promo**" /></div></td>
<td class="r-pad">**TRACK NAME** <br /><span class="version">**Original Version** <span class="duration">**(6:40)**</span></span></td>
<td class="r-pad">**Artist Name**, ****Artist Name 2**<br /></td>
<td class="label-e r-pad"><div class="lab-div ellip"><a href="/label/8831/music-label-name" title="**Music Label Name**">**Music Label<**/a></div></td>
<td class="genre-e r-pad"><div class="genr-div ellip"><**a href="/genre/13/country-music**" title="Country Music">**Country Music**</a></div></td>
<td class="rdate r-pad">**2013-11-14**</td>
<td class="drop">
<div class="ttl-drop-menu">
<div class="com-drop-menu">
<div class="fol-div ellip">follow test</div>
<div class="fol-div ellip">follow test</div>
<div class="fol-div ellip">follow test</div>
</div>
</div>
</td>
<td class="buy-stat"><span class="price">**$2.99**</span></td>
</tr>
You can get the track name by doing the next XPath:
//td[#class='r-pad' and contains(a/#href, 'track')]
To get the both artists names, do:
//td[#class='r-pad']/a[#class='com-artists']
To get the price, do:
//td[#class='buy-stat'/a[#class='com-buy']/span[#class='price']
To get the track ID, do:
//tr[contains(#class, 'play-trk')]/#data-trid
here i want to fill the input field, but unable to access it by Xpath... Plz Help me out..
and the Code is below....
<table class="detailList" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

iam trying
WebElement ele = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[text()='Process Name']/preceding::td/div/input[#type='text']"));
ele.sendKeys("PM 001");
But here after preceding i know its wrong.. Plz Help me out with this.......
Here the name attribute value of input and div id's will change dynamically...
so iam trying to find by the label and preceding input tag...
Thanks in Advance
Your XPath is entirely wrong.
//span[normalize-space(text())='Process Name']/ancestor::tr/descendant::input
Is what you are after.
If the name of that input doesn't change, you can simply get it via:
driver.findElement(By.name("pName"));
Your XPath falls over at the first hurdle simply because that span has a lot of whitespacing around "Process Name", so use normalize-space to force it to strip the whitespaces from the text before comparing it.
You are also then falling over at the next stop, preceding ...you are the the span's level here, it's as deep as you can go, there's nothing 'preceding' it in the first place.
//span[normalize-space()='Process Name']//ancestor::tr//div//input[#type='text']
