below is my code attempt

urll = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//input[@id='ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderContent_MainCategoriserContent_Map1_SubgroupsAndProducts1_plcCategoryProductsGrid_ctl00_ctl00_ctl02_ctl01_SelectSelectCheckBox']")
            urll.find_element(By.XPATH,"//span[@class='hide page-summary']").get_attribute("textContent")

the above code is working but it is extracting the text of another one before this HTML code please help on getting the text page 2 of 2!!

Answer 1

elem=driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//span[@class='hide page-summary']")

print(elem[2].get_attribute("textContent"))

If there are two elements index the second one.

Also when indexing from parent use a.// otherwise you'll get from root.

Answer 2

Use the.text

element = driver.find_element_by_class_name('hide page-summary').text
print(element)
