Text in CSS selector

[Imrankhan]

Hi all,

Good day ahead!

I have been trying to identify an element using CSS selector. But, I have been striving to use text like we do in XPATH. But, both text and innertext aren't working in the css selector. 

How can we identify an element through text in CSS selector?. 

Kindly help.

I don't think that's possible unless someone can correct me here. That's one of the shortcomings of CSS selectors. You might be able to though when combining it with javascript libraries like jQuery.

We can't do that. We cannot identify elements using text in the CSS selector. To do that, you'll have to use an XPath. 

Thanks & Regards

One can use Javascript  to do that search (querySelectorAll + text) Protractor  has  cssContainingText.js for long time . It can be used by Python , Java, .net wrappers available for a long time as well
