使用Selenium Webdriver和Java选中特定H3文本中的输入复选框

Question

I want to check the input checkbox with selenium webdriver and Java, I am trying to click a checkbox inside a third heading (h3) input element of the page:-

example of the element is:-

<h3 class="header-element">
   <input type="checkbox" checked=""/>
   I want to click the checkbox for this particular text
</h3>
<h3 class="header-element">
   <input type="checkbox" checked=""/>
   I dont want to click the checkbox for this text
</h3>

I have tried the following method

//h3[starts-with(text(),'I want to click')]/input

and

//h3[text()='I want to click the checkbox for this particular text']/input

None of these seems to work. Can you please suggest another possible method of doing this. Thanks.

Answer 1

Try using normalize-space() :

//h3[normalize-space(.)='I want to click the checkbox for this particular text']
    /input

or

//h3[starts-with(normalize-space(.))='I want to click']/input

See http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/#function-normalize-space

Answer 2

The xpaths used in the question wont work,because input come first then comes the text .

You can use the position of h3 element to check the correct option.

for example if both the h3 elements are within a div, the following xpath would work.

//div[@id='divs_id']/h3[@class='header-element'][1]/input

The above xpath will click on first checkbox. similarly use the following xpath to click on second checkbox,

//div[@id='divs_id']/h3[@class='header-element'][2]/input

is it something like this

<h3 class="header-element">
   <input type="checkbox" checked=""/>
   I want to click the checkbox for this particular text
</h3>

<h3 class="header-element">

   I dont want to click the checkbox for this text
