How to get anchor tag href and anchor tag text inside a div using Selenium in Java
My HTML code consists of multiple divs. Inside each div is a list of anchor tags. I need to fetch the href values and text values of the anchor tags that are in the sub-container div. I'm using Selenium to get the HTML code of the webpage.
HTML code:
<body>
<div id="main-container">
<a href="www.one.com">One</a>
<a href="www.two.com">Two</a>
<a href="www.three.com">Three</a>
<div id="sub-container">
<a href="www.abc.com">Abc</a>
<a href="www.xyz.com">Xyz</a>
<a href="www.pqr.com">Pqr</a>
</div>
</div>
</body>
Java code:
List<WebElement> list = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@href]"));
for (WebElement element : list) {
String link = element.getAttribute("href");
System.out.println(e.getTagName() + "=" + link);
}
Output:
a=www.one.com
a=www.two.com
a=www.three.com
a=www.abc.com
a=www.xyz.com
a=www.pqr.com
Output I need:
a=www.abc.com , Abc
a=www.xyz.com , Xyz
a=www.pqr.com , Pqr
Answer
Try this,
List<WebElement> list = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[@id='sub-container']/*[@href]"));
for (WebElement element : list) {
String link = element.getAttribute("href");
System.out.println(element.getTagName() + "=" + link +", "+ element.getText());
}
