Locators In Selenium WebDriver Part-5
Hello Everyone,
I have explained in this video about CssSelector dynamic locator the purpose and practically how to use along with Advantages.
In Selenium, a CSS Selector is a pattern used to select and locate HTML elements on a web page.
CSS Selectors are employed by the Selenium WebDriver to identify and interact with elements during test automation.
CSS Selectors in Selenium provide a robust mechanism for identifying web elements through a strategic blend of HTML tags, ids, classes, and attributes.
Syntax:
tagname: Select all elements with the specified tag name.
#id: Select the element with the specified id attribute.
.class: Select elements with the specified class name.
[attribute=value]: Select elements with the specified attribute and value.
Contains
^ StartsWith
$ EndsWith
Advantages
CSS selectors are generally faster compared to XPath
The syntax of CSS selectors is simpler and more readable compared to XPath
CSS selectors are widely supported by modern browsers
They provide direct support for some attribute-based selectors, such as selecting elements by id or class, which can simplify element selection in many cases.
CSS selectors are reliable and stable, as they are often tied to specific HTML elements
I hope this helps you!
Happy Learning!
Thanks,
Priyanka Nigade
