[selenium-users] Capturing the text between h1 tag

[Ramesh D]

I am very new to Selenium and Java. Still trying to learn.

I have come across an issue where I need to extract the text between h1
tags. Tried a lot and nothing worked.


<div class="abcd">
<h1 class="condensed">Header Titles </h1>
</div>

Can someone guide me to extract "Header Titles" from this script...Thanks
in advance

driver.findelement(By.xpath(''//h1[@class='condensed']").text()

Hi ramesh, the solutions provided above is no doublt correct...
As you are still learning and infact we all are on this group. I would suggest you to use xpath as last resort. Use direct attributes like id, name etc if possible otherwise use css.

For your question use driver.findelement(By.css(".condensed").getText();

Try using css instead of xpath. You will lean eventually why.
