• Pattern matching using starts-with() function
$x("//input[starts-with(@id,‘us')]")
• Pattern matching using ends-with() function
$x("//input[ends-with(@id,‘name')]")
• Finding element using substring() function
when we are dealing with some dynamic
element
$x("//input[substring(@id,3)='ername']")](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/locatorsinselenium-131210094939-phpapp02/85/Locators-in-selenium-BNT-09-8-320.jpg)

• Axis method
– following-sibling::HTML tag
Like $x("//input[substring(@id,3)='ername']/followingsibling::input[@id='password']")
Or
$x("//input[substring(@id,3,5)='ernam']/followingsibling::input[@id='password']")
– preceding-sibling::HTML tag
– using ‘..’ to navigate to parent
$x("//input[substring(@id,3)='ername']/..")](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/locatorsinselenium-131210094939-phpapp02/85/Locators-in-selenium-BNT-09-9-320.jpg)

Locators in selenium - BNT 09
- 1. Locators in Selenium Presented By Dwarika Dhish Mishra Email : [email protected] Mob: 9999978609 Blog: http://abodeqa.wordpress.com
- 2. What are locators? Locators are a way to tell selenium which specific element we want it to act on Locators used: • Id • Name • Class • Tag • linkText • Xpath • CSSLocator
- 3. Finding Element By Id • Id attribute is most preferred way to locate element on a webpage, since as per W3C standard every element should have a unique Id so that It could be indentified uniquely <form name="loginForm"> <label for="username">UserName: </label> <input type="text" id="username" /><br/> <label for="password">Password: </label> <input type="password" id="password" /><br/> <input name="login" type="submit" value="Login" /> </form>
- 4. Finding Element By Id So to perform action on Username and Password in Selenium WebDriver we need write this line of code WebElement username = driver.findElement(By.Id(“username”)); WebElement username = driver.findElement(By.Id(“password”));
- 5. Finding Element by Name <form name="loginForm"> <label for="username">UserName: </label> <input type="text”name="username" /><br/> <label for="password">Password: </label> <input type="password" name="password" /><br/> <input name="login" type="submit" value="Login" /> </form>
- 6. Finding Element by Name Since in some situations we don’t have Id attribute provided in HTML so in that case we use some other attribute like name and Class and Tagname So Line of code that we need to use WebElement username = driver.findElement(By.Name(“username”)); WebElement username = driver.findElement(By.Name(“password”));
- 7. Find Element by Xpath • Using Direct Xpath Like /html/body/Element • Using nth of type • Using attribute Like //input*@name=‘username’+ • Using partial match by using contain() function //input[Contains(@name,’user’)+
- 8. Continue… • Pattern matching using starts-with() function $x("//input[starts-with(@id,‘us')]") • Pattern matching using ends-with() function $x("//input[ends-with(@id,‘name')]") • Finding element using substring() function when we are dealing with some dynamic element $x("//input[substring(@id,3)='ername']")
- 9. Continue… • Axis method – following-sibling::HTML tag Like $x("//input[substring(@id,3)='ername']/followingsibling::input[@id='password']") Or $x("//input[substring(@id,3,5)='ernam']/followingsibling::input[@id='password']") – preceding-sibling::HTML tag – using ‘..’ to navigate to parent $x("//input[substring(@id,3)='ername']/..")
