Unable to find element using relative xpath

Question

I am currently trying to use xpath to locate the element for my selenium project, why is that when I try to run the selenium it is unable to locate the element with a relative path even though it's unique to the DOM? My goal is to use the title attribute of a div tag to locate the element since the div tags are very dynamic.

Absolute Path

/html[1]/body[1]/div[2]/div[8]/div[1]/div[3]/div[5]

Relative Path that is unique

//*//div[@title='This is the title ']

Answer 1

Have you tried to use

//*[@title='This is the title ']

Instead of

//*//div[@title='This is the title ']

Indeed, //* directly locate the element in all child nodes.
