Question

I already know the Text of an element in the table:

string title1 = Driver.FindElement(
  By.XPath(
    ".//[@id='ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_BreakdownGridView_ctl02_TitleLabel']"
  )).Text;

How do I verify if there’s a second element in the table that has the same text as title1?

Here is my Table structure:

<tr class="alt" style="background-color:White;height:110px;">
  <td>
     <span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_BreakdownGridView_ctl03_WindowStartLabel" tabindex="1">
        01/13/2013
     </span>
  </td>
  <td>
     <span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_BreakdownGridView_ctl03_ShowLabel" tabindex="1">
       Lea‌​der of the Pack
     </span>
  </td>
  <td>
    <span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_BreakdownGridView_ctl03_TitleLabel">
       Love at First Bite
    </span>
  </td>
  <td>
     <span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_BreakdownGridView_ctl03_PremiereLabel">
        01/12/2013 22:00
     </span>
  </td>
  ...
</tr> 

Answer 1

After getting title1 try implement logic something like below to find how many elements are there with the same text

int count=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//table[@id='urTable']//*[text()='"+title1+"']")).size();

Based on the count it is easy to find how many elements are there with same text.
