locating elements using nextSibling

[t_brc]

Hello,

I am trying to find xpath expression to get the text value from the
table cell,

HTML code
*************
<tr>
<td class="label-column">
<img title="Required" alt="Required" style="width: 12px; height:
9px;" src="ui/uitk/images/s.gif">
<img title="Enter Once" alt="Enter Once" style="width: 12px; height:
9px;" src="ui/uitk/images/s.gif">
<label for="d113353e925">ABC</label>
</td>
<td>
<span title="">XYZ</span><br>
</td>
</tr>

What i want is to get the 'XYZ' value by passing label text = 'ABC'. I
have read something about nextSibling,following-sibling etc. but not
able to frame xpath expression, i am guessing it should be something
like

selenium.getText("//label[text()='ABC']/following-sibling::td");

any help is appreciated.
thx.

I think i found the solution using CSS Selector

selenium.getText("css=tr td.label-colum:contains('ABC')+td")

thx.

Please note that this CSS selector will not work with WebDriver. The :contains() pseudoselector is not part of any CSS standard released by the W3C. It is an extension provided by Sizzle, which is the CSS selector engine used by jQuery (and Selenium RC).

Can you plz try with this one.

 

selenium.getText("//td[@class='class="label-column">']/following-sibling::td");

This should work for you..

selenium.getText("//label[text()='ABC']/following::span[1]");

The reason it was not working was you were trying to get the sibling of "label" tag.

following::a

Selects the first matching node following in document order, excluding descendants. In other words, the following axis will scan through every node in document order, starting with getNextSibling().

You can also try this
//parent::label[text()='ABC']/following::td/span[1]

Have fun :)

@ Jim : Thanks for letting us know on the css standards and
compatibility with Web Driver, currently we are using RC, but very
soon we will be migrating over to web driver.
@ Prashant : your trick worked...and thanks for the detail
