如何单击没有ID名称的按钮

Question

I am using Htmlunit and need to click on a button that doesn't have an ID to reference it. It is a Log In button that I need to click on. After inspecting the button, the information for it is:

<button type="submit" class="button-standard button-primary" tabindex="4">
<span class="button-standard-text">Log In</span>
</button>

How could I reference this button using Htmlunit?

I have referred to this post , but can't seem to get it working:

Unless you have another Log In button inside a span, inside a button that happens to perform a different logic (very unlikely), this should do the trick:

HtmlElement e = page.getFirstByXPath("//button[span[text()='Log In']]");
System.out.println(e.asXml());

Even if you have multiple buttons matching, you can continue filtering using the classes or a more complex XPath string that traverses the whole tree.
