dear all,
I have a question. I am trying to get the ID value using this xpath from below span line -> String className=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[contains(text(),'Account')]")).
<span id="page:frm:pbAddInterfaces:pbTbl:0:j_id63">AccountA</span>
I am using the getText() -> String className=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[contains(text(),'Account')]")).getAttribute("id").toString();, I still cannot get the id value.
please help.

Hello,
your code looks correct.
I have created this page
<html>
<body>
your code looks correct.
I have created this page
<html>
<body>
<span id="page:frm:pbAddInterfaces:pbTbl:0:j_id63">AccountA</span>
</body>
</html>
and executed this:
String className=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[contains(text(),'Account')]")).getAttribute("id").toString();
returns id:
className returned "page:frm:pbAddInterfaces:pbTbl:0:j_id63"
if you are getting different results, you may have multiple matches on the page or you may need to switch to an iframe.
try identifying matching objects
List<WebElement> objMatches = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//span[contains(text(),'Account')]"));
or see if object exists in an iframe and if so, switch to iframe first.
