@ Linh Vu,

Hope this is what you are looking for,

css=#you ~ div
css=#me ~ div

or

//*[@id='you']/following::div
//*[@id='me']/following::div

//div[.=’ LOVE ‘][preceding-sibling::div[.=’me’]]

 

Or

 

//div[.=’you’]/following-sibling::div[.=’ LOVE ‘]

What are you trying to do? Just get the span after the div? It has an ID so why not just key into that?

[Sasi kumar]

to click that span without id!

//div[@id="79620000002701012img2"]/following-sibling::span[1]

thanks it worked . one more clarification, from below is it possible
to get the td ,<td class="label" width="25%">Email:</td> using input
id="property"?


<tr id="Information">
<td class="label" width="25%">Title:</td>
<td class="element" width="25%">
<td class="label" width="25%">Email:</td>
<td class="element" width="25%">
<input id="uiType_prop" type="hidden" value="25" name="uiType_prop"/>
<input id="property" class="textField" type="text" maxlength="100"
style="width:100%" name="property"/>
</td>
</tr>

[Mark Collin]

//input[@id='property']/../../td[.=' Email:']

Or

//input[@id='property']/../preceeding-sibling::td[.=' Email:']

Or

//input[@id='property']/../preceeding-sibling::td[1]

Or

//input[@id='property']/ ancestor::tr/td[.=' Email:']

And probably a few other ways as well

this is the same as Marks but bit changed


//input[@id='property']/../..//td[contains(.,'Email')]

i added the last //td

and the contains.

give it a try

[Sasi kumar]

yes it works ,thanks.what was the problem in marks xpath ?

[Mark Collin]

There is an extra space in my last XPath (type). There is nothing wrong
with my XPaths, you probably have whitespace that I haven't picked up. The
contains is not performing an exact match it is performing a substring
match. The XPaths I provded are assuming an exact text match so if the
value specified in .='<value>' is not exact it will not match.

another important difference in th expaths is the use of the //td insted of /td.
