How do I select only visible elements using XPath?
Selenium 2 Webdriver gives us the option of the isDisplayed() method which deals with this problem. Nice work by the selenium contributors.
This works for me:
//div[not(@hidden)]
This should work:
.//button[.='OK' and not(ancestor::div[contains(@style,'display:none')])
and not(ancestor::div[contains(@style,'display: none')])]
EDIT:
The simpler and more efficient expression below:
//div[not(contains(@style,'display:none'))]//button[.='OK']
does not work properly because every button has at least one div that's visible in its ancestors.
