Question

I have the following markup:

<div>
 <div>Question1</div>
 <div>
  <button type="button">No</button>
  <button type="button">Yes</button>
 </div>
</div>

<div>
 <div>Question2</div>
 <div>
  <button type="button">No</button>
  <button type="button">Yes</button>
 </div>
</div>

The following XPath expression locates two yes buttons:

//div/div/button[text()='Yes']  

However I only want the Yes button of the first div as in:

//div/div[text()='Question1']

How can I locate that?

Answer 1

Use:

//div[div[. = 'Question1']]
   /div/button[@type = 'button'][. = 'Yes']

This selects any button whose string value is "Yes" and whose type attribute has string value "button" and (the button element) is child of a div that is a child of a div that has a div child with string value "Question1" .
