Question

EDIT:

my CSSSelector is like this: (which is working fine in FF)

for (int i = 1; i < _count; i++)
{
    ..................
    ..................
    div#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1 table.gv tbody tr.item:nth-child(" + i + ") > td:nth-of-type(3)
    ..................

}

EDIT END

I’m using Selenium 2.29 and IE (8) and FF (17.1)
in FF all my test cases passed and when I run in IE majority of my test cases failed and here is the error message:

Test method threw exception: 
OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverTimeoutException: Timed out after 30 seconds ---> OpenQA.Selenium.NoSuchElementException: 
Unable to find element with css selector == 

div#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1 table.gv tbody tr.item:nth-child(1) > td:nth-of-type(3)

I’m using CSSSelector.

do I have to change the CSSSelector for IE to work?

Answer 1

As per: http://www.quirksmode.org/css/contents.html#t38

IE8 and below don’t support the :nth selectors.
