Click with XPath

Click with XPath

Clicks an element on a web page using an XPath locator — an alternative to the CSS selector for more complicated page structures.

Tip

For most cases, prefer Click with a CSS selector: it is simpler and faster. Reach for this one only when a CSS selector cannot identify the element you want.


Options​

Browser or page ID​

The browser, tab or iframe opening action where the click happens.

XPath locator​

The XPath expression identifying the element to click, //button[@id='btnSubmit'] for example.

Returns​

This action has no returns.

Rules and conditions​

  • Browser or page ID and XPath locator are both required.
  • The XPath locator has to be a valid expression that uniquely identifies the element you want.
  • If more than one element matches the XPath, the robot clicks the first found.
  • If no element is found within the timeout, the action ends in an error.
