How to get td text value of nested table by XPath

I have this table inside another table inside another table and so on. And then I want to get the text value of the td element with a specific class.

<tr>
  <td width="5%"></td>
  <td class="wintxt">The XML ....<br/><br/>Number: xyz</td>
</tr>

I need to get the text content "The XML ....Number: xyz"

I tried using: 

List<?> submissionString = resultOfsubmissionPage.getByXPath("//tr[@class=\"wintxt\"]/td/text()");

...and many other variations but I always get a zero element List. Anyone has a clue?

Solution

  • There is mistakes with your provided xpath you are searching text() in that row means tr which has class attribute but as your provided HTML only one td has class attribute. So try as below :-

    List<?> submissionString = resultOfsubmissionPage.getByXPath("//tr/td[@class='wintxt']/text()");

    Hope it helps..:)
