XPath to select following-sibling

Question

This is the code that I currently have:

<         


        
      

Answer 1

This xpath worked for me in Chrome, using your html:

//span[contains(text(), 'ABZ')]/../following-sibling::section/span[@name='edit']

Edit

The .. means to go up a level. The .. takes the selector from span to section. Then the following-sibling finds the section after the parent section of your matching span.

Your original selector was matching span, then looking for a following-sibling to span.
