Selecting Element followed by text with Selenium WebDriver
- by Andrew
I am using Selenium WebDriver and the Python bindings to automate some monotonous WordPress tasks, and it has been pretty straightforward up until this point. I am trying to select a checkbox, but the only way that I can identify it is by the text following it. Here is the relevant portion of HTML:
<li id="product_cat-52">
<label class="selectit">
<input value="52" type="checkbox" name="tax_input[product_cat][]" id="in-product_cat-52"> polishpottery
</label>
</li>
The only information that I have in my script to identify this checkbox is the string "polishpottery". Is there any way to select that checkbox knowing only the text that follows?
