Question

I’m trying to access an HTML element using Selenium (Java) but am currently having trouble. The element is located within this structure:

    <nav>
       <ul class="...menu"> id="...menu">
          <li id="Ignore..."> </li>
          <li id="Test tab">
             <a href="/.../..." title="Tab">Tab</a>
          </li>
       </ul>
    </nav>

I need to access and click "Tab" which appears as a button. What is the best method to access this button? I have tried .findElement(By.name("...")); and similar without success. Once "Tab" has been selected I then plan to call .click().

Thanks in advance.

Go with this solution

 driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[text()='Tab']")).click();
