Question

In a page HTML, there are several HTML links whose names contains some sub nodes.

I want to retrieve only one of them; the following:

<a href='foo'>
   <b>Bar</b>
   <div style="height: 18px;">Garbo</div>
</a>

To target it, I want to precise with xpath: “Bring me the link which contains both “Bar” as “Garbo”, no matters if they are in separated sub nodes“.

I try this one, but after reading some articles about contains function, this line could never work:

//a[contains(text(),"Bar") and contains(text(),"Garbo")]

What fix could I make to fulfill my requirements?

Answer 1

The selector you need to use is

//a[./*[contains(text(),"Bar")] and ./*[contains(text(),"Garbo")]]
