Selenium Webdriver w/Java: locating elements with multiple class names with one command

Question

I\'m trying to use Selenium (2.31.0, using JavaSE 1.6 and IE9) to find a series of elements on a page. These elements all have one of two class names, \'dataLabel\' or \'dat

Answer 1

Why wouldn't you do the following:

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".dataLabel,.dataLabelWide");

The '.' selector says, "give me all elements with this class." The ',' operator is the CSS selector 'or' operator.
