Question

In my webpage, there’s a div with a class named Test.

How can I find it with XPath?

Answer 1

This selector should work but will be more efficient if you replace it with your suited markup:

//*[contains(@class, 'Test')]

Or, since we know the sought element is a div:

//div[contains(@class, 'Test')]

But since this will also match cases like class="Testvalue" or class="newTest", @Tomalak’s version provided in the comments is better:

//div[contains(concat(' ', @class, ' '), ' Test ')]

If you wished to be really certain that it will match correctly, you could also use the normalize-space function to clean up stray whitespace characters around the class name (as mentioned by @Terry):

//div[contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' Test ')]

Note that in all these versions, the * should best be replaced by whatever element name you actually wish to match, unless you wish to search each and every element in the document for the given condition.
