[selenium-users] want to use the xpath by using src tag

A picture that shows no markup is useless for helping you to determine a
valid XPath.



An XPath of //img[@src='/img/logo/new_logo.jpg'] looks sane, I would expect
it to work if you have entered the path correctly. The only place where
this may go wrong is if the browser decides to prepend the domain to the src
(I think IE used to do this at some point in the past, not sure if they
still do). You would be safer using one of the options IDE has suggested.

Snigdha,
replace

//img[@src='/img/logo/new_logo.jpg']

with

//img[contains(@src,'/img/logo/new_logo.jpg')]

You should be good.



Thanks & Regards

You need to match on the full src value, including the http:// bit ... not just part of it ...

Unless you use the Xpath contains function, like: //img[contains(@src,'/img/logo/new_logo.jpg')]
