How to install the firepath in google-chrome

[anurag]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to develop the firepath extension for chrome?
Or if there's a firepath work-around to install firepath as chrome
extension in chrome?

Just use the Developer Tools in Google Chrome (it's built in):  http://screencast.com/t/iFwMcDgFavPh

But I need to find xpath of an element like how firepath does in
firefox.

My experience has been to generate/compose your own xPath since containers can change on you frequently.

In my opinion, //span[text()='Station Select'']

Is a lot easier to manage than, /html/body/center[2]/div/div[2]/div[4]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[4]/a/span 

However, there is a tool that works similarly to what you are describing although it's awkward to use and a little buggy:

xPath Viewer for Chrome

Cheers,

One might find this post helpful regarding FirePath workaround for other browsers besides Firefox:
