Comment on Selenium Tips: Finding elements by their inner text using :contains, a CSS pseudo-class by Kamote

Hi Guys,

I’m having trouble with selenium locating the element in the page. Below is the css that I’m using. It can be detected in Selenium IDE but in Selenium RC, the object can’t be detected. Any suggestions guys? Thanks!

CSS Locator:
css=td.lbl:contains(“(if ‘Yes’ provide full details in adjacent box)”)

Actual HTML:
(if ‘Yes’ provide full details in adjacent box)

Hello

Anyone know of a Firefox pluggin I could use to test CSS selectors before I put them in my code?

For xpath, I use xpather which allows me to type all my fancy xpaths and shows me the matches, or right click anywhere on the page to get the xpath of the element.
That helps me cut on development time which, at least in my manager’s opinion, is even more important than cutting a few seconds of execution time. But of course, if I can get the best of both worlds, I would be more than happy…

Also, are css locators prone to cross-browser issues? One thing I like about xpaths is that they are pretty consistent across browsers expect for some features like selecting by index.

Thank you! I’m totally new to Selenium and I could not work out how to check that text stored in a table was present but changing div to table worked for me.

Great tool! the only thing i would to see added is a user friendly way of using external data (csv or xls or…) I can identify the fields but not sure how to make it use a different set of data on each run. I`m a decent tester but the programming is not my cup-of-tea so pls incorporate this option into the next release.
Keep up the good work
