<td>By Company </td>
I need to capture xpath of the above element. I tried following alternatives, but nothing seems to be working in chrome. Can you please suggest any other option.
"//td[normalize-space(text())='By Company\u00a0']"
"//td[normalize-space(text())='By Company\u00a0\u00a0']"
"//td[text()='By Company\u00a0']"
"//td[text()[normalize-space(.)='By Company\u00a0']]"
"//td[text()[normalize-space()='By Company\u00a0']]"
To locate the element:
<td>By Company </td>
You can use either of the following xpath:
However, ideally you may like to avoid the NO-BREAK SPACE character and use either of the following solutions:
Using starts-with()
:
"//td[starts-with(., 'By Company')]"
Using contains()
:
"//td[contains(., 'By Company')]"

You can find a relevant detailed discussion in:
- Using XPATH to search text containing
tl; dr
Unicode Character 'NO-BREAK SPACE' (U+00A0)
Ignore it, locate by "By Company" only
//td[contains(., 'By Company')]
