How to get the value of an attribute using XPath

Question

I have been testing using Selenium WebDriver and I have been looking for an XPath code to get the value of the attribute of an HTML element as part of my regression testing.

Answer 1

Using C#, .Net 4.5, and Selenium 2.45

Use findElements to capture firstdiv elements into a collection.

var firstDivCollection = driver.findElements(By.XPath("//div[@class='firstdiv']"));

Then iterate over the collection.

        foreach (var div in firstDivCollection) {
            div.GetAttribute("alt");
        }
