Selenium and Python to find elements and text?

Question

When I go to a certain webpage I am trying to find a certain element and piece of text:

Answer 1

The problem is actually with the class name as the spaces causes the element to have 3 different classes (separated by the space)

If you set the class to Bold-Orange-Large instead it should work as expected with the elem.text method.

Answer 2

you want: elem.text to get "the number that is inside".

explanation:

in your example, elem is an instance of webdriver's WebElement class (from selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement)

a WebElement instance has several properties, including:

• tag_name
• text
• size
• location
• parent
• id

.text property contains "the content"

"and my other problem is that there are multiple of those exact span elements ..how can I deal with that?"

please don't ask several questions in one.. it doesn't work well with SO's format.

but basically, use the find_elements_* instead of find_element_*. your locator can then return a list of matching WebElement instances instead of a single matching instance... which you can filter further.
