[FIXED] How to get link from elements with Selenium and Python

Issue

Let's say all Author/username elements in one webpage look like this... How can I get to the href part using python and Selenium? users = browser.find_elements_by_xpath(?)

<span>

    Author: 

    <a href="/account/57608-bob">

        bob

    </a>

</span>

Thanks.

Solution

Use .//span[contains(text(), "Author")]/a as xpath expression.

For example:

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('http://jsfiddle.net/9pKMU/show/')
for a in driver.find_elements_by_xpath('.//span[contains(text(), "Author")]/a'):
    print(a.get_attribute('href'))
