Selenium: how to find div with specific content?

Question

I need to find a <div> with certain content and click it from Selenium, as so:

<tr>
  <td>clickAndWait</td>
  <td>//div[@class='gwt-Label' ***WITH CONTENT='Logout'***]</td>
  <td>5000</td>
</tr>

Is there some way to do this? I don't want to use an absolute xpath.

Answer 1

try this:

 //div[@class='gwt-Label' and contains(., 'Logout')]

Answer 2

You could also use CSS locators:

<div class="gwt-Label">This FindMe DIV</div>

Could be located using:

css=.gwt-Label:contains('FindMe')

Answer 3

Perhaps your XPath just isn't quite doing what you think. You may need to use the string() function to concatenate all the text in a block.

For example, in TestPlan (using Selenium as backend) you would do something like this:

Click //div[@class='gwt-Label'][contains(string(),'Logout')]

Note the use of string()
