I haven’t found a way to change this xapth //span[text()=‘Login’] to css

Can some one help.

CSS can’t select elements by containing text.

You could try using jQuery, if xpath is not working for you.

Hi @Mate_Mrse,

Does CSS support exact text?

Regarding jQuery … Can you please tell how ?

CSS doesn’t support exact text.

You could use

$("span:contains(‘Login’)")

inside of a javascript executor:

WebUI.executeJavaScript('return $("span:contains(‘Login’)") ', [])

You will probably need to escape some characters there :smiley: . Sorry, don’t have time to check.
