Preferred Locator Formats
Using the most optimal locators is crucial for cross-browser compatibility. IE is notoriously slow for processing xpath locators. As per the Selenium documentation, the preferred format of locators is:
- by Identifier (i.e. locator="DWT233")
- by CSS (i.e. locator="css=a[href='#id3']")
- by xpath (i.e. locator="//a(@href='@id3']")
Translation: xpath to css
For those familiar with xpath but not css, here are some tips for translation.
xpath | css | preferred | usage |
---|---|---|---|
"xpath=//div[@id='foo']" | "css=div[id='foo']" | "foo" | sIsElementPresent("foo") |
"xpath=//tr[contains(@attr,'partial']" | "css=tr[attr*='foo']" | "css=tr[attr*='foo']" | sIsElementPresent("css=tr[attr*='foo']") |
