How To Write Xpath Good Syntax

[kill3rbko 12]

Hello,

 

I'm just beginning with ExBrowser, and it is a big fail !

I am trying to click Login without success!

Here is the source code :

class="fixed contain-to-grid"> <nav
class="top-bar"><ul><li
class="name"><h1 class="site-name"><a
href="/">King Proxies</a></h1></li><li
class="toggle-topbar"><a
href="#"></a></li></ul> <section><ul
class="right"><li><a
href="/#proxylist">Download</a></li><li><a
href="/plans">Plans & pricing</a></li><li> <a
href="/docs">API</a></li><li
class="has-button"> <a
href="/register" class="small blue nice button">Log in / Register</a></li></ul> </section> </nav></div><div
class="container" role="main"> <header
id="homepage"><div
class="wrapper"><div
class="wrapper2"><div
class="row"><div
class="twelve columns text-center"><h2>The most reliable public proxy servers list</h2><h4>Thousands of http and socks proxies tested daily.</h4></div></div></div></div> </header><div
class="row"><div

And below my xpath

x://*[@class="small blue nice button"]

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Try this

plugin command("ExBrowser.dll", "ExBrowser Click", "//li/a[@class=\'small blue nice button\']")

How is so easy for you ....

Why i am so noob !!!!

 

It's working !!!

Thanks Insomnia! i will learn from this

 

Edit :

I'm really sorry to disturb, but is there any sample code on exbrowser to see how it is working?

 

Now i can not find the xpath for email and password.

The xpath i use fill the register field and not the login field.

 

this is the expression : //*[@id=UserEmail]

href="/register" class="small blue nice button">Log in / Register</a></li></ul> </section> </nav></div><div
class="container" role="main"><div
class="row"><div

id="tos" class="reveal-modal xlarge"><div

unfortunately it is not the unique expression, how to indicate it is for form > action="login"  ?

 

I have tried this expression without success :

//*[@id=LoginForm]*/*[@id=UserEmail]

 

Thanks again for your time

[Code Docta (Nick C.) 638]

type=""

class=""

id=""

name=""

anything=""

 

those are all called "attributes", you can use any of them or a combination of them. The idea is to get a unique one.

 

if it doesn't have an 'id' or 'class' like in "UserEmail" use something else, in this case "for".

More info,

Hope that helps...

Thanks Docta, but i think i am the worst student ever seen !

After 4 hours of testing no way.

Here is some path i have tried from many others

//form[@id='LoginForm'] and input[@id='UserEmail']
//label[@for='UserEmail']//input[@id='UserEmail']

I note with despair my extremely low level in this area. I am also aware that ExBrowser support is very clear on the point that we need to have some preliminary knowledge of xpath before using their EB plugin. I can't open a ticket for my problem,so I'm willing to pay for a tutorial example of connecting to a site and retrieving a list of data in order to better understand and avoid these unnecessary and disturbing questions on the forum.
Thank you for your understanding.

Hi.

 

You know that I have a full (FREE) course about Xpath right? So head over to Facebook and join the EXBrowser Group:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/ExBrowserPlugin/files/

 

There you will find the link to the tutorial videos in the files section. And there is also a Cheat Sheet (PDF) about it.

Cheers

Dan

1 question please...

Is it possible that if i hate xpath, i can use EB ? In other words can i use EB without xPath ?

I realize you said that you hate it but its worth learning even if it feels daunting at first.

 

Actually, forget xpath, go learn html and css first - its really not hard and you don't have to become an expert. But go make some simple html pages on your own. Then come back and learn xpath. It will be much easier then.
