I have a webpage looks something like this:

<html>
...
<div id="menu">
...
  <ul id="listOfItems">
  <!--- repeated block start -->
    <li id="item" class="itemClass">
    ...
    <span class="spanClass"><span class="title">title</span></span>
    ...
    </li>
  <!-- repeated block end-->
    <li id="item" class="itemClass">
    ...
    <span class="spanClass"><span class="title">title something</span></span>
    ...
    </li>
    <li id="item" class="itemClass">
    ...
    <span class="spanClass"><span class="title">title other thing</span></span>
    ...
   </li>
 </ul>
 ...
 </div>
 ...
 </html>

I would like to know what is the xpath of the titles (“title”, “title something”, “title other thing”). The point is that the order of the <li> elements are not specified. It could be different after every page loading. Is there any method how to discover a certain structure of the page with xpath? I have an notion about how to solve this issue, but before I’m going to write iterations with C# to discover the page I ask you.

Thanks in advance!

    Does Selenium support XPath expressions like:

    //span[@class='title']

    If yes, than use the above XPath expression. It selects every span element in the XML document, whose class attribute has string value of "title".

    I recommend to use a tool like the XPath Visualizer to play with different XPath expressions and see the selected nodes highlighted in the source XML document.
