I have the above code for my HTML, but my problem is selecting the specific WebElement (**th**) for my automation to click.
Here is what I have tried so far:
String selectedAsset = dataTable.getData("AssetNumberToUpdate");
WebElement selectedAssetWE = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//th[contains(.,'" + selectedAsset + "')]"));
selectedAssetWE.click();
I have no problem clicking other web element in my automation but with this scenario I can't really seems to click it. I have a feeling that my problem lies in my Xpath. I'm not quiet experienced in Xpath.
