is that element displayed on the screen. If it has the css- display:none or visibility:hidden. Then getText will not return anything, since it only returns the visible text.

Hi Amit,
thanks for the Reply,
The code is working fine But it is not able to return the value in the
header, Because the headers don't have the attribute.
Do you have any idea like how should i do ??

I do not see any getAttribute("value") in your code for it to look for value attribute.

Your code is trying to get the text between the h5 tag.Which is right and you don't need to do a getAttribute here. If this is not working try By. cssSelector("h5") instead of by. Tagname. I doubt if that will make sny differnce. Also please check if any of the parent div's  display style is none or hidden.

dd.findelement(By.tagname("h5")).getText();

If you can send the URL to your page I can try helping.

This should work. Your code with data types and typos corrected.

WebElement dd =
driver.findElement(By.className("t1_l2_inner_clearance"));
WebElement pp = dd.findElement(By.className("clearance_list"));
String value =  pp.findElement(By.tagName("h5")).getText();

I am in similar situation and do not know how to handle - 

I have multiple <h5> tags and need to get text from the tag one at a time. 

<div id="one">

   <h5> One</h5>

<div id="two">

   <h5>Two</h5>

Can some one help me how to point to specific <h5> tag. 

Thanks,

Vasu.

Try:

String value =  pp.findElement(By.XPath("//h5[2]")).getText();

This would get the text of the 2nd h5 tag, for example.

I would go for:

 

String value = pp.findElement(By.xpath(“//div[@id=’one’]/h5”)).getText();

 

Or

 

String value = pp.findElement(By.xpath(“//div[@id=’two’]/h5”)).getText();

 

It should be more performant to base it upon an ID since they are unique (I really need to do some tests and get some numbers to validate this, I may just be making it up)
