xml - XPath for text between tags -
i want verify xpath canoo webtest.
my html looks this:
<div id="mydivid">firstname lastname</div> the space between firstname , lastname created " ".
i tried following fails when test firepath or console of firebug.
//div[@id='mydivid' , contains(.,'firstname lastname')] //div[@id='mydivid' , contains(.,'firstname lastname')] //div[@id='mydivid'][contains(text(),'firstname lastname')] //div[@id='mydivid'][matches(text(),'firstname.lastname')] sometimes don't know difference between versions. more or less try , error after found 1000 solutions on stackoverflow. never works me :/ tried understand difference of . , text() , how contains , matches works. cant figure out long test cases fail.
what did wrong?
seems problem is, nbsp entity not defined <!entity nbsp " ">
can try (should work):
"//div[@id='mydivid' , contains(text(),'firstname lastname')])" or
"//div[@id='mydivid' , text() ='firstname lastname'])" text() returns text of current element.
. (in string context) returns test of child of current element.
in example there no different because div not have child beside of text.
update: seems special issue of firefox extension firepath. firebug document.evalute do:
var xpath = "//div[@id='mydivid' , text() ='firstname\xa0lastname']"; divs = document.evaluate(xpath, document, null, xpathresult.any_type, null); d1=divs.iteratenext(); but consider javascript encoding of nbsp \0xa0.
