The code below works but it only selects the first tr:

My HTML:

<script>if(''!='') { document.Form2.endereco_ip.value='';}</script> 
<div style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold">Listagem
</div>
<hr style="height: 1px">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse">
  <tbody>
    <tr style="background-color: #E8E8E8">
      <td width="1%">&nbsp;
      </td>
      <td width="5%">
        <b>Rede
        </b>
      </td>
      <td width="5%">
        <b>Tipo
        </b>
      </td>
      <td width="5%">
        <b>Portal
        </b>
      </td>
      <td width="20%">
        <b>Nome do Portal
        </b>
      </td>
      <td width="10%">
        <b>Franqueador
        </b>
      </td>
      <td width="10%">
        <b>Ambiente
        </b>
      </td>
      <td width="10%">
        <b>Endereço BD
        </b>
      </td>
      <td width="15%">
        <b>Endereço Páginas
        </b>
      </td>
      <td width="5%">
        <b>Release
        </b>
      </td>
      <td width="5%">
        <strong>Administrador</strong>
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td bgcolor="green" title="xxx">
      </td>
      <td>Nome_emp
      </td>
      <td>Cliente
      </td>                 
      <td>
        <a target="_blank" title="Descricao." href="#">1149</a>                                                     
      <td>Nome_emp 
        <b> - Empresa: 19; 
        </b>
      </td>
      <td>9841 - Nome - empresa
      </td>
      <td>Micro (95%)
      </td>
      <td>LINK.COM.BR
      </td>
      <td>
        <a href="http://#" target="_blank"><font color="blue">http://#
          </font></a>
      </td>
      <td>2.0
      </td>
      <td class="style1">
      </td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

My Selenium code:

driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://...");
IWebElement secondRow = driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("table tr:nth-of-type(2)"));
portalweb = driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("td:nth-of-type(4)")).Text;
txbPortal.Text = portalweb;

  • When I run it returns the title "Portal" being that it should return the value "1149" which is in the second tr. Jan 10, 2019 at 13:10

To add explanation to what you have already figured out. The problem was that with this line you correctly acquired the second row:

IWebElement secondRow = driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("table tr:nth-of-type(2)"));

but with the next piece of code, you did not get the 4th cell of the second row, but the first 4th cell of the DOM and that starts from the first row, the header. That is why it has returned "portal".

portalweb = driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("td:nth-of-type(4)")).Text;

so instead of the previous line you should do what you have already figured out:

portalweb = secondRow.FindElement(By.CssSelector("td:nth-of-type(4)")).Text;

run the second FindElement on the second row, and not on the whole DOM again.

  • Why css is used in this case? any specific reason? I think we can achieve it by Xpath or filndelementsby tagname and 2nd element from list. Please clarify

  • @SQA_LEARN The OP used css I just used his original code in the answer. Anyway the OP used css because it was suggested to him in his other question: sqa.stackexchange.com/questions/37202/… I specially suggested the same as you, FindElements and xpath. Jan 13, 2019 at 10:03

I made the following change and it worked:

portalweb = secondRow.FindElement(By.CssSelector("td:nth-of-type(4)")).Text;
