XPath For Returning a Column Index
KevinO
<html>
<head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>first column</td>
<td>second column</td>
</tr>
<tr></tr>
</table>
</body>
The xpath expression for the first row second column is:
/html/body/table/tbody/tr/td[2]
I'd like to use selenium to get the value '2'.
In other words, what is the value for the first occurrence of text
"second column". I'm able to get selenium to recognize that element
but not return the value.
Mark Collin
value attribute of the element will be null.
What exactly are you trying to achieve? If the test is to confirm that you
are looking at the second column you have already done that with the XPath
you have supplied.

Finding the number of children an element has is very easy:
List<WebElement> childrenOfAnElement = driver.findElements(By.id("myElement"));
int numberOfElements = childrenOfAnElement.size();
You need to keep in mind that if you are iterating through the elements using XPath as described in the accepted solution in the link the XPath’s will start at 0 so you need to decrement the size by one to make sure you don’t get a null pointer error.
