Unable to automate span class in Selenium

[Steffi]

 Hi,

I am trying to automate icon "timelog"  the HTML code is

<a class="quickLinks" onclick="toNavUrl('f3987c7b3583d8e1e74b0ea4de589863');return false;" href="javascript:void(0);">
<h2 class="sti-item" data-type="mText">TIMELOG</h2>
<h3 class="sti-item" data-type="sText"></h3>
<span class="sti-icon sti-icon-timelog sti-item" data-type="icon"></span>
</a>

I have tried following

driver.findElement (By.partialLinkText("timelog")).click();

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span.sti-icon sti-icon-timelog sti-item")).click();

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@class = 'sti-icon sti-icon-timelog sti-item']")).click();

but getting error - unable to locate element.

can anybody help me?

Steffi.

Hello,
Assuming these xpaths point to an unique element,

driver.findElement (By.partialLinkText("timelog")).click();
I think this should be TIMELOG instead of timelog?

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("span.sti-icon sti-icon-timelog sti-item")).click();

This one is wrong because classes need to be separated by a dot character.
Use span.sti-icon.sti-icon-timelog.sti-item

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@class = 'sti-icon sti-icon-timelog sti-item']")).click();

This is wrong syntax.  It should be  //span[contains(@class,'classname1' and contains(@class, 'classname2')]

Praveen
