Selenium Webdriver finding an element in a sub-element
If you start an XPath expression with //
, it begins searching from the root of document. To search relative to a particular element, you should prepend the expression with .
instead:
element2 = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@title='div2']")element2.find_element_by_xpath(".//p[@class='test']").text
This is how you search for element or tag in CSS subclass and I believe that it works for multilevel situation as well:
Sample HTML:
<li class="meta-item"> <span class="label">Posted:</span> <time class="value" datetime="2019-03-22T09:46:24+01:00" pubdate="pubdate">22.03.2019 u 09:46</time></li>
This is how you would get pubdate
tag value for example.
published = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('li>time').get_attribute('datetime')
