Hi all,

[markg]

use xpath similar to .//text[contains(.,'yahoo')] with FindsByXpath()

[stevs...@gmail.com]

You can use xpath to find your element e.g.

1. Using contains and '.' to find the text anywhere

xpath=//button[contains(.,'text to find')]

2. Selecting a link with 'Go to application in the title

xpath=//a[contains(@title,'Go to application')]
