I have the following html code:
<div class="panel">
<div class = "heading">
<span class="wName">Name</span>
<div class="foo1" style="display: none;"></div>
<div class="foo2" style="display: none;"></div>
</div>
</div>
I already located element panel and I'm trying to test when foo2 doesn't appear with the following line of code:
if (panel.findElement(By.xpath("../div[#class='foo2']")).getCssValue("display").equals("none"))
I'm not sure why this won't retrieve the element properly.
Your XPath is wrong! .. means "parent of". Single dot . would mean relative to current location.
Try: panel.findElement(By.xpath(".//div[#class='foo2']")
How about you use descendant
panel.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='panel']/descendant::div[#class='foo2']"));

I have this html code below and I want to differentiate between these two PagePostsSectionPagelet as I only want to find web elements from the first PagePostsSectionPagelet. Is there any way I can do it without using <div id="PagePostsSectionPagelet-183102686112-0" as the value will not always be the same?
<div id="PagePostsSectionPagelet-183102686112-0" data-referrer="PagePostsSectionPagelet-183102686112-0">
<div class="_1k4h _5ay5">
<div class="_5sem">
</div>
</div>
<div id="PagePostsSectionPagelet-183102686112-1" class="" data-referrer="PagePostsSectionPagelet-183102686112-1" style="">
<div class="_1k4h _5ay5">
<div class="_5dro _5drq">
<div class="clearfix">
<span class="_5em9 lfloat _ohe _50f4 _50f7">Earlier in 2015</span>
<div id="u_jsonp_3_4e" class="_6a uiPopover rfloat _ohf">
</div>
</div>
<div id="u_jsonp_3_4j" class="_5sem">
<div id="u_jsonp_3_4g" class="_5t6j">
<div class="_1k4h _5ay5">
<div class="_5sem">
</div>
</div>
Tried using //div[#class='_1k4h _5ay5']//div[#class ='_5sem'] but it will return both.
Using //div[#class='_5dro _5drq']//span[contains(#class,'_5em9 lfloat _ohe _50f4 _50f7') and contains(text(), '')] will help me find the second PagePostsSectionPagelet instead.
you need to use the following xpath:
//div[contains(#class,'_1k4h') and contains(#class,'_5ay5')]
as selenium doesn't work properly with search of several classes in one attribute.
I mean By.Class("_1k4h _5ay5") will found nothing in any case and By.Xpath("//div[#class='_1k4h _5ay5']") can also found nothing in case of class will be "_5ay5 _1k4h" or " _5ay5 _1k4h".(as they possibly generated automatically, its may be have different position on page reload)
But for the best result by performance and by correctness I think will be the following xpath:
".//div[contains(#id, 'PagePostsSectionPagelet')][1]" -- for first div
".//div[contains(#id, 'PagePostsSectionPagelet')][2]" -- for second div
I see that dynamic in the div id is only the number so you can use something like:
WebElement element = driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//div[contains(.,'PagePostsSectionPagelet')])")[1];
This will take only the first web element.
Try using a css selector as below and refine further if required.
The code below returns a List of matching WebElements and then you grab the first one in the List.
List<WebElement> listOfElements = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("div[data-referrer]"));
WebElement myElement = listOfElements.get(0);
Hint: use the Chrome console to test your css and xpath selectors directly. e.g. use
$$("div[data-referrer]") in the console to reveal what will get selected.
Question is for JAVA + Selenium:
My HTML is:
<section class="d-menu d-outclass-bootstrap unclickable d-apps d-app-list">
<section class="standard-component image-sequence-button" tabindex="0" role="link">
<div class="image-region">
<div class="core-component image">...
</div>
<div class="sequence-region">
<div class="core-component section">
<div>
<section class="standard-component text hide-section-separator-line">
<div class="text-region">
<div class="core-component text">
<span class="main-text">BART Times</span>
<span class="sub-text">Provider</span>
</div>
</div>
</section>
<section class="standard-component speech-bubble hide-section-separator-line">...
<section class="standard-component text">...
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="button-region">
<div class="core-component button" tabindex="0" role="link">...
</div>
</section>
<section class="standard-component image-sequence-button" tabindex="0" role="link">...
<section class="standard-component image-sequence-button" tabindex="0" role="link">...
<section class="standard-component image-sequence-button" tabindex="0" role="link">...</section>
EDIT:
All <section class="standard-component image-sequence-button"... have exact same structure and hierarchy (same attributes for all tags). The only thing that changes are the TEXT values of the tags(e.g. span)
PART1:
I'm looking for various elements inside the second section tag. So, What I'm trying to do is get the <span class="main-text"> which has a value BART Times because of the business requirement.
I already know how to get it via xpath:
My xpath (verified via firebug):
"//section//div[#class = 'sequence-region']//section[#class = 'standard-component text hide-section-separator-line']//span[#class = 'main-text' and text() = '%s']"
I can get the span tag via checking for %s values (e.g. BART Times).
However, due to design considerations, we've been told to use CSS only. So, I tried to come up with a CSS counterpart for the above xpath but did not find it.
The following CSS
"section div.sequence-region section.standard-component.text.hide-section-separator-line span[class=main-text]"
returns all the span tags under all the section tags.
Question1: How do I get the span tag which has a certain TEXT value (the %s part of xpath)?
Things I've tried for that last span tag which did not worked(according to the firebug):
span.main-text[text='BART Times']
span[class=main-text][text='BART Times']
span.main-text:contains('BART Times')
span[class=main-text]:contains('BART Times')
span.main-text[text="BART Times"]
span[class=main-text][text="BART Times"]
span.main-text[text=\"BART Times\"]
span[class=main-text][text=\"BART Times\"]
span[text="BART Times"]
span[text=\"BART Times\"]
span:contains('BART Times')
span:contains("BART Times")
span:contains(\"BART Times\")
So, basically I want to put a check on BOTH class and TEXT value of the span tag in CSS selector.
Part 2:
Then I want to get the <section class="standard-component image-sequence-button"... element where I found the <span class="main-text"> and then find other elements inside that specific section tag
Question 2:
Assuming, I found the span tag in question 1 via CSS, how do I get the section tag (which is a super--- parent of the span tag)?
If CSS is not possible, please provide an xpath counterpart for this as a workaround for a while.
CSS selectors can't select based on text. The answers to Is there a CSS selector for elements containing certain text? go into detail on why.
To select based on class and text in xpath: //span[contains(#class, 'main-text') and text() = 'BART Times']
Regarding question 1, it is not possible, as stated in the other answer here. This is another thread about the topic : CSS selector based on element text?
Regarding question 2, once again there is no such parent selector in XPath : Is there a CSS parent selector?. Now for the xpath counterpart, you can use parent axis (parent::*) or shortcut notation for the same (..), or put the span selector as predicate for the parent (the third example below) :
....//span[#class = 'main-text' and text() = '%s']/parent::*
....//span[#class = 'main-text' and text() = '%s']/..
....//*[span[#class = 'main-text' and text() = '%s']]
See the following thread for some better (yet more complicated) alternative to match element by CSS class using XPath, just in case you haven't came across link on this topic : How can I find an element by CSS class with XPath?
I am trying to open different section of page. These Section will open on click of different tabs.
Below is HTML Structure of Page
<div id="MainContentPlaceHolder_divMainContent">
<div id="MainContentPlaceHolder_tbCntrViewCase" class="Tab ajax__tab_container ajax__tab_default" style="width: 100%; visibility: visible;">
<div id="MainContentPlaceHolder_tbCntrViewCase_header" class="ajax__tab_header">
<span id="MainContentPlaceHolder_tbCntrViewCase_tbPnlCaseDetails_tab" class="ajax__tab_active">
<span id="MainContentPlaceHolder_tbCntrViewCase_tbPnlVehicle_tab" class="ajax__tab_hover">
<span class="ajax__tab_outer">
<span class="ajax__tab_inner">
<a id="__tab_MainContentPlaceHolder_tbCntrViewCase_tbPnlVehicle" class="ajax__tab_tab" style="text-decoration:none;" href="#">
<span>Vehicle</span>
</a>
</span>
</span>
</span>
and I have Written Below Lines but these are not working
driver.findElement(By.id("__tab_MainContentPlaceHolder_tbCntrViewCase_tbPnlVehicle")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text()='Vehicle']")).click();
I got Source Not Found Error
As per the OP's comments, I am posting the xpaths that can be used to locate the concerned element :
1- //span[#id='MainContentPlaceHolder_tbCntrViewCase_tbPnlVehicle_tab']//span[.='Vehicle']
This will locate the span element with innerHTML/text as Vehicle which is a descendant of span with id MainContentPlaceHolder_tbCntrViewCase_tbPnlVehicle_tab
OR
2-//span[#id='MainContentPlaceHolder_tbCntrViewCase_tbPnlVehicle_tab']//span[.='Vehicle']/..
This will locate the parent of span element with innerHTML/text as Vehicle which is a descendant of span with id MainContentPlaceHolder_tbCntrViewCase_tbPnlVehicle_tab which in this case is an a element.
Please check if this works for you. Else, let me know how many matching nodes does it show, when you use them. We will sort this one out.
When I open a page, there is code that looks like the following:
<div id="policySetup_content">
<div id="bCS_insureds_contentWrap" style="display: none;">
<div id="bCS_policy_contentWrap" style="display: block;">
<div id="bCS_risks_contentWrap" style="display: none;">
<div id="bCS_rating_contentWrap" style="display: none;">
<div id="bCS_billing_contentWrap" style="display: none;">
<div id="bCS_attachments_contentWrap" style="display: none;">
<div id="bCS_submit_contentWrap" style="display: none;">
</div>
How would I go about getting the #id of whichever one is set to (style="display: block;) inside the #id policySetup_content?
The reason for this is so I can know which page I'm on (because it can be any one of them for various reasons). I need to know the page in order to know which Wrap id to use when working with elements.
Judging by this previou SO question you should be able to use the CSS Selector (div[style*="display:block"]), something along the lines of the below (untested).
String id = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div[style*=\"display:block\"]").getAttribute("id");
Because Selenium will not interact with elements that are not visible, you should be able to pull all the DIVs under the parent DIV and only get the one that is not hidden. I've never tried this approach before but I think it will work...
String id = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#policySetup_content > div[id]")).getAttribute("id");
BTW, if you aren't familiar with CSS Selectors this reads find an element with ID (#) policySetup_content that has an immediate child (>) DIV that has an ID. This may need to be tweaked depending on the real HTML that you are dealing with. If it doesn't work, let me know and I can try to help tweak it.

I have tried several variations of both the select function and also getElementByClass but all have given me a "null" value such as:
Document firstSearchPage = Jsoup.connect(fullST).get();
Element link = firstSearchPage.select("div.title").first();
If someone could help me with a solution to this problem and recommend some areas of reading so I can avoid this problem in future it would be greatly appreciated.
The CSS selector div.title, returns a <div class="title">, not a link as you seem to think. If you want an <a class="title"> then you should use the a.title selector.
Element link = document.select("a.title").first();
String href = link.absUrl("href");
// ...
Or if an <a class="title"> can appear elsewhere in the document outside a <div class="title"> before that point, then you need the following more specific selector:
Element link = document.select("div.title a.title").first();
String href = link.absUrl("href");
// ...
This will return the first <a class="title"> which is a child of <div class="title">.
