Selenium WebDriver Locators & Element Identification 2

Question 1

In CSS selector syntax used with Selenium, which symbol is used to target an element by its ID attribute?

Accepted Answer

#

Answer

The `#` symbol is the CSS ID selector, so `#loginBtn` targets the element with `id="loginBtn"`.

Question 2

What does the XPath expression `//div[@class='menu']//a` select?

Accepted Answer

All `a` elements anywhere inside div elements with class 'menu'

Answer

The double-slash `//` before `a` means any descendant at any depth, not just direct children.

Question 3

Which CSS selector correctly matches an `<input>` element of type "text"?

Accepted Answer

input[type='text']

Answer

CSS attribute selectors use square bracket notation: `element[attribute='value']` to match specific attribute values.

Question 4

Which XPath axis selects the sibling element that immediately follows an element with id="first"?

Accepted Answer

//*[@id='first']/following-sibling::*[1]

Answer

`following-sibling::*[1]` selects the first sibling that shares the same parent and appears after the context node.

Question 5

In Selenium WebDriver, which method returns all elements matching a locator as a `List<WebElement>`?

Accepted Answer

driver.findElements()

Answer

`driver.findElements()` (plural) returns a `List<WebElement>` containing all matching elements on the page.
