Implementation of Xpath in Selenium
It is to identify the elements with tag names
It is of two types
1)relative x path
2) Absolute x path
1) Relative x path:-
we can identify the elements with the help of parent tag and with unique attributes.
In attributes we can provide multiple also to identify the element.
Ex:-//input [@id=’id’]
ath=input[@id=’f-id’]
//input [@id=’f-id’ and @name=’name’]

2) Absolute xpath:---
By using relative xpath if we are unable identify the element then we can go absolute path
It will identify the element with the complete hierarchal xml path of the element.
we can take the absolute xpath from the tool fire path .It is an add on for firebug.
