Hi i have the following code that searches for and retrieves the first paragraph after <h3>

//div[starts-with(@id,'content_div')]/h3[.='Course Content']/following-sibling::p[1]

Because i’m using the same code on multiple web pages, some of those pages do not contain <h3> and instead contain <h4> tag. What is the syntax to check if there is a <h3> tag and if not check for <h4>?

    You can check if child element exists using predicate, e.g.:

    //div[span]

    It will select all div elements which have span

    //div[starts-with(@id,'content_div')]/*[self::h3 or self::h4 and .='Course Content']/following-sibling::p[1]
