How to get the xpath for the span button

问题

I am new to selenium IDE and trying to get the target in the right order. I have tried many combination to get the right element when there is span for the button. I need to get the xpath for the "Read More" button.Can someone please advise how the target in the IDE should be. Here is the code:

<div class="is_centered l_bottom_pad">
<a class="btn_teal_outline has_arrow" href="https://test.com/jobs/view.php?id=8">
<span>Read More</span>
</a>
</div>

回答1:

In some browsers (I think it was mainly MSIE) it is necessary to address the <a> element, not its child <span> in order to click a button or link. So you should adress:

//a[span[text()='Read More']]

Or you go directly for LinkText ("Read More") instead of XPath!

Targeting for span button is very simple. Just see what is unique attribute in that element. I feel the button text itself is unique.Try this one

xpath=.//span[text()='Read More']
