This is the html snippet

<div class="ext-cal-wk-ct">
   <table>
       <tbody>
           <tr>
               <td><div>13</div></td>
               <td><div>14</div></td>
               <td><div>15</div></td>
           <tr>
           <tr>
               <td><div>Calender note WebElement[no 13]</div></td>
               <td><div>Calender note WebElement[no 14]</div></td>
               <td><div>Calender note WebElement[no 15]</div></td>
           </tr>
       </tbody>
   </table>
</div>

I want to find the respective element using xpath by the element no for example: if I use contains(text(),'13')--> WebElement no 13 should be returned for contains(text(),'14')--> WebElement no 14 should be returned and so on

I have used two xpaths to find the elements individually but don't know how to connect them

//div[@class='ext-cal-wk-ct']/table[2]/tbody/tr/td/div[contains(text(),'13')]

//div[@class='ext-cal-wk-ct']/table[2]/tbody/tr/td/div[contains(text(),'Tim Cook')]

need some help on this

I want a xpath where I will pass the date and it will return me the calender note for that particular date

CodePudding user response：

basically, contains is for partial matching.

When you write

contains(text(),'13')

there are 2 matching nodes,

<div>13</div>

and

<div>WebElement no 13</div>

so I would suggest to use :

//div[@class='ext-cal-wk-ct']/table[2]/tbody/tr/td/div[text(),'13']

to locate

<div>13</div>

or

//div[@class='ext-cal-wk-ct']/table[2]/tbody/tr/td/div[text()='WebElement no 13']

to locate this :

<div>WebElement no 13</div>

CodePudding user response：

You can use below syntax by using contains in xpath

//tagname[contains(text(),'textname')]

I guess in your case you should consider exact match :

<td><div>15</div></td> : for this element

xpath => //td/div[text()='13']

and for this element : <td><div>WebElement no 13</div></td>

xpath => //td/div[text()='WebElement no 13']

i hope there is unique text in dom for given html snippet.
