These are the elements in HTML that I want to select but the expression doesn't match with them. I am writing XPath expression in Chrome Devtools

CodePudding user response：

You're using following-siblings when the nodes you want are children.

Instead select all children of certain position:

//div[contains (@class, "field-content")]/*[position() >= 8]

this select any direct child of this div node that are of position >=8.
