In the previous article, I have practically demonstrated the third part of Relative CSS Selectors.

In this article, I am going to practically demonstrate using the first-child in CSS Selectors.

Let’s get started.

Selenium Locators – Using first-child in CSS Selectors

Follow the below steps to practice using first-child in CSS Selectors:

1) Open http://compendiumdev.co.uk/selenium/basic_web_page.html in Chrome Browser, where ChroPath is already installed (Refer ChroPath installation in Chrome Browser here and usage in Chrome Browser here ) as shown below:

I have taken a very basic Web Application for demonstration as shown in the below screenshot to make your learning easy:

Absolute XPath - Opening Basic Application

2) Open ‘ChroPath’ functionality as shown below in the Chrome Browser:

Absolute XPath - Open ChroPath

3) Select ‘CSS Sel..’ option from the ‘Selectors’ dropdown as shown below:

Relative CSS Selectors - CSS Sel

4) Expand all the tags on the left side (i.e. <head> and <body> tags) as shown below:

Relative CSS Selectors - expand tags

5) Let’s locate the first child under the body tag using first-child in the CSS Selectors as shown below:

body > *:first-child

Note: * symbol in the above CSS Selector stands for any tag

Let’s execute the above Relative CSS Selector in the ChroPath and observe that the first child tag under the body tag got located as shown below:

CSS Selectors - body first-child

6) Let’s locate the first child under the head tag using first-child in the CSS Selectors as shown below:

head > *:first-child

Note: * symbol in the above CSS Selector stands for any tag

Let’s execute the above Relative CSS Selector in the ChroPath and observe that all the first child tag under the head tag got located as shown below:

CSS Selectors - head first-child

7) Let’s locate the first child under the html tag using first-child in the CSS Selectors as shown below:

html > *:first-child

Note: * symbol in the above CSS Selector stands for any tag

Let’s execute the above Relative CSS Selector in the ChroPath and observe that all the first child tag under the html tag got located as shown below:

CSS Selectors - html first-child

8) Let’s locate the first p tag using first-child in the CSS Selectors as shown below:

p:first-child

Let’s execute the above Relative CSS Selector in the ChroPath and observe that the first p tag got located as shown below:

CSS Selectors - first p tag

9) Let’s locate the first p tag having id attribute value as ‘para1’ using first-child in the CSS Selectors as shown below:

p[id=’para1′]:first-child

Let’s execute the above Relative CSS Selector in the ChroPath and observe that the first p tag having attribute value as ‘para1’ got located as shown below:

CSS Selectors - first p tag id para1

Here concludes the usage of first-child in CSS Selector.

In the next article, I will practically demonstrate the usage of last-child in CSS Selector.
