  • absolute or Full xpath
    1) / start 2) from start tagname
  • relative ( In the real time project )
    1) // start 2) current node or parent corrent node //[@anyattributename=’thatattributevalue’] //[@attributename=”attributevalue”]
    //tagname[@attributename=’attributevalue’]
    //tagname[@attributename=”attributevalue”]
    • Index Method
      ()[10]
    • Parent to current node
      //*[@idattributename=’attributevalue’]/tagname
    • text // Complete text
      //*[text()=’Register’]
      //tagname[text()=”Register”]
    • contains // partialtext
      //tagname[contains(text(),’Rep’)]
      //*[contains(text(),’Rep’)]
      //tagname[contains(text(),’Repository’)] V V V IMP //tagname[contains(@id,”dynamicpart”)] //img[contains(@src,’fvJauBWDL’)]
    • normalize-space [Same like text approach]
      //tagname[normalize-space()=’Register’]
      //*[normalize-space()=’Register’]
    Syntax for and / or in XPath:
    //tagname[@attribute1=’value1′ and @attribute2=’value2′]
    //tagname[@attribute1=’value1′ or @attribute2=’value2′]
