Question about automation. I use Selenium RC.

I upgraded my FF to 3.6.18 and it seems that it can't find any locators which have "contains()" inside

I've read alot of forums. It's a known problem, but I did not find any solution.

So what to use instead of contains() now?

Answer

The only functionality in CSS which is similar to contains() is:

element[attribute*="substring"]

It is helpful when you need to check some substring which contains in the attribute.
