Selenium Webdriver - Creating XPath

Selenium Webdriver - Creating XPath.

GUI Element	Corresponding XPath	Remarks
<input type="submit" value="Save"/>	//input[@value='Save']	Exactly matches the text "Save"
<input type="submit" value="Save1"/> <input type="submit" value="Save2"/>	//input[@value='Save1'] //input[@ type =' submit '][1] matches the 1st input element, "Save1" //input[@value='Save1']   //input[@ type =' submit '][2] matches the 2nd input element, "Save2"
<a href="somelink">Structure</a>	//a[text()="Structure"]	Exactly matches the value within a given tag. Here the text "Structure" which is in between the <a> tag (anchor tag)
<a href="somelink">x_structure_y</a>	//a[contains(text(),'structure')]	Like wildcard search, matches the input element which has the text "structure" within a given tag
<input type="button" name="ccd_ccd_81533739_removeevent"/>	//input[contains(@name,concat("ccd","_","ccd","_")) and contains(@name,"removeevent")] Note: The above xpath can be used when the attribute value has a part which is dynamic in nature (here in this case the text in between "ccd_" and "_removeevent" '81533739" keeps on changing everytime the GUI element is accessed)	Matching multiple text(s) pattern of a attribute value
<input type="text" value="Search..."/>	//input[@type='text' and contains(@value,'Search')]	Matches based on multiple attributes of a GUI element . Here the xpath of the text box is derived  based on its 'type' and 'value' attributes
