Using Python & Selenium, how to extract the text from HTML containing the <p> tag and font tag-CodePudding

This I know is a very simple question. I'm quite sick and trying to finish up this asap and my brain just doesn't seem to be working right.

How to extract 1 from this code. Please help me on this

The HTML code is as follows:-

<font size="5">
    <p id="showscripts">1</p>
</font>

With Selenium and XPath locator it will be something like this:

value = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[name()=`font` and @size='5']/p[@id='showscripts']").text

With addition of Expected Conditions explicit wait it will be:

value = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//*[name()=`font` and @size='5']/p[@id='showscripts']"))).text

CodePudding user response：

text = driver.find_element_by_id("showscripts").text

This must work, try it.
