How do I get an parent HTML Tag with Selenium WebDriver using Java [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can use WebElement.findElement(By.xpath("parent::*"))

I tried, it works in selenium.

Answer 2

I have a method for this in C#.

public static IWebElement GetParent(IWebElement e)
{
   return e.FindElement(By.XPath(".."));
}

Hope it helps :)

Answer 3

This will create an extension on top of IWebElement that will let you call GetParent directly on the child IWebElement

public static class MyExtensions
{
    public static IWebElement GetParent(this IWebElement node)
    {
        return node.FindElement(By.XPath(".."));
    }
}  

Example usage...

IWebElement node = WebDriver.FindElement('..');
IWebElement parent = node.GetParent();
