    text
    copied!<p>I am new to automation (selenium).Scenario :To identify the element of the mobile title on any mobile site(eg:flipkart).I wanted to know whether there is any other way apart from the href/title to identify the element using selenium webdriver?I want to make it generic as the mobile phone might not be available after sometime.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flipkart.com/mobiles/sony~brand/pr?sid=tyy,4io&amp;_pop=flyout&amp;otracker=hp_submenu_new_mobile_Mobiles_Sony#jumpTo=228|20" rel="nofollow">http://www.flipkart.com/mobiles/sony~brand/pr?sid=tyy,4io&amp;_pop=flyout&amp;otracker=hp_submenu_new_mobile_Mobiles_Sony#jumpTo=228|20</a></p> <p>Use this url for the scenario.</p> <p>I am using Java as the language.Selenium version : 1.10.0 As per my knowledge we can use id,name,css and xpath to identify the element,but what do i do when i have to <strong>always</strong> select the second phone title no matter which phone it is.How do I create the xpath for this?or is there any other way to do so?Please let me know.</p> <p>These are the html tags for the first and second phones for the above url:</p> <pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;a class="fk-display-block" title="Sony Xperia SP (Black)" href="/sony-xperia-sp/p/itmdjmz3z9hgbhdm?pid=MOBDJMZ2U6JFHZZH&amp;ref=ab7f3941-7bfb-4119-a446-555c42f4248a"&gt; Sony Xperia SP (Black) &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="fk-display-block" title="Sony Xperia Miro (Black)" href="/sony-xperia-miro/p/itmdda7crgzwqzhp?pid=MOBDDA5Y6BKX6VHR&amp;ref=f8fea7a0-d9c0-4264-8fc9-959f09407436"&gt; Sony Xperia Miro (Black) &lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>As we can observe that the only difference between two phones are the title , the href and the link text.The class is the same for all of the phones.</p>
