css=table#playlistTable tr:nth(0) span[class='playlistNumDisplay smallFont']
I'm encountering an issue with the CSS code above. My intention is to target the first 'tr' element under 'PlaylistTable' and then select the 'span' element with the class 'playlistNumDisplay smallFont' within that 'tr'.
Can anyone point out what I might be doing incorrectly here? Thank you for your assistance.
When selecting elements in CSS, it's important to use the correct pseudo-class selectors. For example, instead of using :nth(0), you should consider using :nth-child(1) or :nth-of-type(1).
If you're aiming for the first match, alternatives like :first-child or :first-of-type may be more suitable than the nth-() variants.
To explore all available selectors, visit Quirksmode's comprehensive list here: http://www.quirksmode.org/css/contents.html. This resource also includes a browser compatibility chart which could be helpful outside of Selenium testing scenarios.
I hope this information proves useful for your needs.
Avoid using complex CSS selectors with Selenium. It's tempting to try techniques you're familiar with from jQuery, but they may not be supported in CSS or by the browser version you're using. For example, 'nth' is one such case.
Instead, simplify your selector like this:
css=table#playlistTable tr:first-child span.playlistNumDisplay.smallFont
You can further streamline your selector based on the specific elements you need to match and those that don't overlap with others.
.
Keep in mind that :first-child is part of CSS 2.1, whereas :nth-child() and attribute value selectors (like [class='...']) are features of CSS 3. This means better browser support for the former than the latter.
