Locating Elements

There are various strategies to locate elements in a page. You can use the most appropriate one for your case. Selenium provides the following methods to locate elements in a page:

• find_element_by_id

• find_element_by_name

• find_element_by_xpath

• find_element_by_link_text

• find_element_by_partial_link_text

• find_element_by_tag_name

• find_element_by_class_name

• find_element_by_css_selector

To find multiple elements (these methods will return a list):

• find_elements_by_name

• find_elements_by_xpath

• find_elements_by_link_text

• find_elements_by_partial_link_text

• find_elements_by_tag_name

• find_elements_by_class_name

• find_elements_by_css_selector
