Is there a way to get element by XPath using JavaScript in Selenium WebDriver?

[hariprasad]

Hi,

 I am looking for something like:

getElementByXpath(//html[1]/body[1]/div[1]).innerHTML

I need to get the innerHTML of elements using JS (to use that in Selenium WebDriver/Java, since WebDriver can't find it itself), but how?

I could use ID attribute, but not all elements have ID attribute.

[FIXED]

I am using jsoup to get it done in Java. That works for my needs.

Btw, for those interested, you could do it with something like this

WebElement elem = driver.findElement(By.XPath("//html[1]/body[1]/div[1]"));

String innerHtml = (String) ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("return arg[0].innerHTML;"elem);

hello 

You may also try 

 String value = driver.findElement(By locator).getAttribute(String attribute);
