I am new to Selenium. Read through many historical posts and try to retrieve tooltip text but fail...
X path (for "col_issued_shares" should be correct as it is directly copy like below screen:
The result is SyntaxError: invalid syntax. My expected output is Issued Shares 20,428,671,958 ( as at 27 May 2022) . But when I view source , it shows toolkit text.

s=Service(r'C:\Users\chromedriver.exe')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)
url='https://www.hkex.com.hk/Market-Data/Securities-Prices/Equities/Equities-Quote?sym=5&sc_lang=en'
driver.get(url)
element = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//*[@id="lhkexw-quoteequities"]/div[2]/div[3]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/span[2]/span")
Can someone help? Thanks a lot
CodePudding user response:
Try xpath //*[@id='lhkexw-quoteequities']/div[2]/div[3]/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/span[2]/span
Actually you are enclosing xpath with double quotes ("). So in xpath you should use single-quote (') for @id=''
.
