无法从外部标签从硒元素中获取文本？

Question

I have the following element

<td nowrap="nowrap" align="left" colspan="2">
<b>Zone: </b>
"521X 7SW&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"
</td>

How do I grab the text containing "521X 7SW"? Everytime I try the .text command in selenium it only returns "Zone:". If I use the get_attibute("text") command it returns nothing.

I've already selected the element with this command

zone = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(), 'Zone')]")

And the text isn't invisible. Here's a picture of the element

Answer 1

That is a text node not just text.

You can inject Javascript like this :

text_node  = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//b[contains(text(),'Zone: ')]")

data = driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].nextSibling.textContent;", text_node)  
print(data)  

text_node is passed into Javascript as arguments[0]

Answer 2

Text which you are looking for is not related to ' b ' tag , it's text() value of td tag . You should find td tag text to get "521X 7SW" value.

 driver.find_element_by_xpath("//td[@nowraap='nowrap']/text()");

You can optimize xpath of td, as I have used only displayed HTML in your question .
