GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Hello , 

I am currently using the following function to look for a link in a page:
driver.findElementByLinkText(cell.Text)
Is it possible to look for a text in a page and then return its xpath , or id 
or name or class name ... and work with it afterwards
Thanks for your help

Sure you can use an XPath or a Css expression:
Set elts = driver.findElementsByXPath("//*[contains(text(), 'your text')]")
Set elts = driver.findElementsByCssSelector("*:contains('your text')")

> return its xpath
No there is no command to get it, but you could execute some Javascript to 
compute it with the executeScript  command.

> or id or name or class name
The getAttribute command will get you an attribute:
Debug.Print driver.findElementById("your id").getAttribute("id")
Debug.Print driver.findElementById("your id").getAttribute("class")
