In the previous article, I have practically demonstrated the usage of not in CSS Selectors.
In this article, I am going to practically demonstrate the usage of the following sibling (+) in CSS Selectors.
Let’s get started.
Selenium Locators – Using the Following Sibling in CSS Selectors
Follow the below steps to practice using the following sibling (i.e. Plus Symbol: + ) 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:
2) Open ‘ChroPath’ functionality as shown below in the Chrome Browser:
3) Select ‘CSS Sel..’ option from the ‘Selectors’ dropdown as shown below:
4) Expand all the tags on the left side (i.e. <head> and <body> tags) as shown below:
5) Let’s locate the following sibling p tag of the p tag having the id attribute value as ‘para1’ using the CSS Selectors.
We can locate the p tag having the id attribute value as ‘para1’ using the below CSS Selector:
p[id=’para1′]
Now, append the following sibling plus symbol (i.e. +) to locate the p tag which is the following sibling to the above CSS Selector located p tag as shown below:
p[id=’para1′]+p
Let’s execute the above CSS Selector in the ChroPath and observe that the p tag which is the following sibling of p[id=’para1′] tag will be located as shown below:
6) Let’s locate the following sibling (i.e. any tag) of the head tag using the CSS Selectors.
We can locate the head tag using the below CSS Selector:
head
Now, append the following sibling plus symbol (i.e. +) to locate any tag which is the following sibling to the above CSS Selector located head tag as shown below:
head+*
Note: * in the above CSS Selector stands for any tag.
Let’s execute the above CSS Selector in the ChroPath and observe that the body tag which is the following sibling of head tag will be located as shown below:
7) Let’s locate the following sibling (i.e. any tag) of the title tag using the CSS Selectors.
We can locate the title tag using the below CSS Selector:
title
Now, append the following sibling plus symbol (i.e. +) to locate any tag which is the following sibling to the above CSS Selector located title tag as shown below:
title+*
Note: * in the above CSS Selector stands for any tag.
Let’s execute the above CSS Selector in the ChroPath and observe that the script tag which is the following sibling of title tag will be located as shown below:
Here concludes this article on using following sibling + in CSS Selectors.
In the next article, I will practically demonstrate locating disabled, enabled, selected UI elements using CSS Selectors.
