使用Python的Selenium Webdriver-获取html标记之间的字符串或内容

Question

I'm new to Selenium's webdriver and Python. I know about this article about getting the HTML source , but I don't want the entire HTML line for a DOM object, just the content in between the tags. I also looked at webdriver source code for help on finding this button DOM object

for example:

<button id = "picview">Pic View</button>

How do I just get "Pic View"?

Also, using get_attribute("button id"), How would I get this specific button id as there are multiple buttons on the page with button id?

For example:

picbox_elem_attr = picbox_elem.get_attribute('button id')
print picbox_elem_attr

How do I ensure that picbox_elem_attr variable is set to the "picview" button and not some other button?

I don't have a

driver.find_element_by_name("xxx")

or a

driver.find_element_by_id("aaa")

to use to find this button.

Answer 1

To get text of an element use the text property. For example:

text_inside_button_id = driver.find_element_by_id("picview").text

Here is some additional documentation to help you with the webdriver binding library. http://goldb.org/sst/selenium2_api_docs/html/

Answer 2

I forgot about xpath. Oops!

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="picview"]')

and then you can right-click the object and use xpath within the dev tools.
