I am having trouble accessing elements:
<fieldset>
<legend>
Legend1
</legend>
<table width=100%" cellspacing="3" bgcolor="white">
<tbody>
<tr>...</tr>
<tr>...</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<fieldset>
<legend>
Legend2
</legend>
<table width="100%" cellspacing="3" bgcolor="white" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td class="reportLabel" nowrap="">Label1</td>
<td class="reportField>Field1</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<fieldset>
...
I can access everything in the first table (before entering a sub-fieldset). However, I can't access anything from the fieldset on. The error I get is:
Message: Unable to find element with xpath == ...
Is there something special I have to do when there are new fieldsets? Similar to having to switch frames?
The command I'm using is:
ret = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//fieldset/legend[text()='Legend2']/following::table/tbody/tr/td[@class='reportlabel'][text()='Label1']")
The reason I'm including the legend and following it with 'following' is that there are a lot of different sections and legends within a previous one, and I'd like to ensure that the field is indeed in the proper section.
I have also tried simpler things, though, such as:
ret = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//fieldset/table/tbody/tr/td[@class='reportLabel][text()='Label1']")
I am using:
IE11 (same issue on Firefox, though)
Selenium 2.44.0
Python 2.7
Windows 7
32 bit IEDriverServer.exe
Does anyone know why I can't access these elements?
Your second XPATH looks correct unless the fact that you are missing a ' after reportLabel. Corrected:
//fieldset/table/tbody/tr/td[@class='reportLabel'][text()='Label1']
Working xpath as per OP's comment
//legend[contains(.,'Legend2')]//..//td[contains(text(),'Label1')]
