Python Selenium, find certain elements under a certain element-CodePudding

<section id='browse-search'>
  <div>
      <div>
          <div>
                <div class='product-pod'>
                <div class='product-pod>'>
          </div>
      </div>
  </div>
</section>
<div class='product-pod>'>
<div class='product-pod>'>

I have a webpage like this structure. and I need a cleaner way to locate elements with class='product-pod'. driver.find_elements(By.XPATH,"div[@class='product-pod']") will not work, because there are a few matched elements outside the section element.

Please advise what is the most appropriate way to locate those elements.

CodePudding user response：

With what you have provided, this strategy could be built:

if the extra > that you provided is a typo, then:

For first div element:

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "(//section[@id='browse-search']//div[@class='product-pod'])[1]")

For second div element:

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "(//section[@id='browse-search']//div[@class='product-pod'])[2]")

If the > is not a typo, then the structure changes, and the below strategies would work:

For main div element:

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//section[@id='browse-search']//div[@class='product-pod']")

For inner div element:

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//section[@id='browse-search']//div[@class='product-pod']/div")

CodePudding user response：

you can try xpath like

   //section[@id='browse-search']//div[contains(@class,'product-pod')]

which will collect all product-pod classes inside section having id = browse-search
