:css3-container XPath Selector

Question

I have the following line of code in an html file, I have no idea what is is and why there is a : infront. However, I am processing the DOM and want to remove all similar nodes using an xpath selector. I can't seem to be able to use "//:css-container" to select the element.

<:css3-container style="z-index: 3000; position: absolute; direction: ltr; top: 92px; left: -9998px;">

Any ideas?

Answer 1

If it is in the DOM you could try

//*[local-name() = "css3-container"]

or

//*[local-name() = ":css3-container"]

(if it not considered an empty namespace)
