For example: To find a link with text "click me" the Xpath is //a[text()='click me'.

What should be the equivalent in cssSelector which will be used to identify the same element in firebug and firepath? a[text='click me'] is unable to find the same element.

Please help

  • show us the whole HTML, and your xpath expression is incomplete. – Yu Zhang Nov 21 '16 at 9:31
  • I have never seen an element with text as its property, did you mean innerText? – Yu Zhang Nov 21 '16 at 9:32
  • Your xpath should be //a[text()='click me'] and please share HTML also. – Sagar007 Dec 21 '16 at 13:22

In CSS and Xpath elements can be find using their attributes like the following:

 CSS : tagname[attribute='text']
 CSS : tagname[innerText=’text’] or tagname[textContent=’text’]
 Xpath: tagname[@attribute='value']

For any other browser(except FireFox) you can use tagname[innerText=’text’] i.e a[innerText='linkname']

For Firefox you can use tagname[textContent=’text’] i.e, a[textContent='linkname']
