WebDriver interface
provides number of methods to locate elements in a web page. You can locate an
element by using class name, id, name, linktext etc., In this post, I am going
to explain how to locate an element using Xpath.
index.jsp
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>Insert title here</title> </head> <body> <div class="center"> <h1>Simple application to demonstrate Selenium webdriver</h1> </div> <div class="center"> <p id="para1">WebDriver interface provides number of methods to locate elements in a web page. You can locate an element by using class name, id, name, linktext etc.,</p> </div> </body> </html>
Following application
get the text associated with paragraph, using xpath.
import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver; public class App { public static void main(String[] args) { WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); driver.get("http://localhost:8080/application"); WebElement paragraph = driver.findElement(By .xpath("/html/body/div[2]/p")); System.out.println(paragraph.getText()); driver.close(); } }
Output
WebDriver interface provides number of methods to locate elements in a web page. You can locate an element by using class name, id, name, linktext etc.,
Next post, I am going
to explain how to get the XPath of a html element.
