Question

I got this html :

<tr>
   <td>
       Some
       <strong>
           text
       </strong>
       <em>
           and more
       </em>
   </td>
   ...
</tr>

I need to locate my td element with this text Some text and more. I know that I can get this text with this XPath expression :

//td//text()

But I can not find a solution to locate td element. I try this :

//td[//text()='Some text and more']

but I get errors. Do you know a working XPath expression for that ?

Answer 1

Firstly, XPath uses forward slashes, never backslashes.

Secondly, I believe this may be the XPath you need:

//td[normalize-space(.) = 'Some text and more']

Could you give that a try?
