Question

I have the following HTML:

<div>
  <p>foo</p>
  <p class='foo'>foo</p>
  <p class='foo'>foo</p>
  <p>bar</p>
</div>

How can i select second P tag with class ‘foo’ by XPath?

Answer 1

The following expression should do it:

//p[@class="foo"][2]

---

Edit: The use of [2] here selects elements according to their position among their siblings, rather than from among the matched nodes. Since both your tables are the first children of their parent elements, [1] will match both of them, while [2] will match neither. If you want the second such element in the entire document, you need to put the expression in brackets so that [2] applies to the nodeset:

(//p[@class="foo"])[2]
(//table[@class="info"])[2]
