Can't get nth node in Selenium
Here's an issue:
//input[@name='question'][7]This expression doesn't work at all.
This is a FAQ.
[] has a higher priority than //.
The above expression selects every input element with @name = 'question', which is the 7th child of its parent -- and aparently the parents of input elements in the document that is not shown don't have so many input children.
Use (note the brackets):
(//input[@name='question'])[7]This selects the 7th element input in the document that satisfies the conditions in the predicate.
Edit:
People, who know Selenium (Dave Hunt) suggest that the above expression is written in Selenium as:
xpath=(//input[@name='question'])[7]
If you want the 7th input with name attribute with a value of question in the source then try the following:
/descendant::input[@name='question'][7]
