Issue
i have to make some automation on a page.
The page consists of table where inside each td element i have 2 a tags, the first one with a class, the second one has no class or id.
i can easily select the one with the class, but how to get the other one? is there a way to select the element next to another one like in css?
this is a draft of the structure of the page
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<a class="mylink"> element 1 </a>
<a>
<img src="">
</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<a class="mylink"> element 2 </a>
<a>
<img src="">
</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I can select the first one with
fileLinkClass = "mylink"
driver.find_element(by=By.CLASS_NAME, value=fileLinkClass)
but i need to select and click the a link without the class. How can i accomplish this?
Thank you so much
Solution
Try using css selector
For single element selection
driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR,'.mylink + a')
For multiple elements selection
driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR,'.mylink + a')
Make a list slicing then click. For example:
element = driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR,'.mylink + a')
element = element[0].clik()
element = element[1].clik()
