问题:

<td>By Company&nbsp;&nbsp;</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&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>

You can use either of the following xpath:

  • Using text():

    "//td[text()='By Company\u00A0\u00A0']"
    
  • Using contains():

    "//td[contains(., 'By Company\u00A0\u00A0')]"
    

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')]"

Unicode Character 'NO-BREAK SPACE' (U+00A0)

Ignore it, locate by "By Company" only

//td[contains(., 'By Company')]
