Selenium XPath: how to get href value of a use attribute-CodePudding

I am trying to get the xpath of a svg that has an attribute <use href= "#icon-map"> So far the path //*[local-name()='svg']/*[local-name()='use'] works, but it finds 84 entries.

How can I modify the xpath in order to select only the use that has the href as "#icon-map"?

CodePudding user response：

You can use this:

//*[local-name()='svg'][use[@href="#icon-map"]]

//*[local-name()='svg'][*[local-name()='use'][@href="#icon-map"]]

See example.

If you have more results than you expect then you should use more specific paths to the element or take your query into (..) and add number of an item into [..] like :

(//*[local-name()='svg'][use[@href="#icon-map"]])[2]

CodePudding user response：

If use is an attribute then you could do this :

//*[name()='svg']//*[@use and @href='#icon-map']

Also the above solution assumes that #icon-map is unique in HTML DOM
