How to access the second element that has the same class name in selenium

Question

I have a 2 elements on my web page that has the same class name and I am trying to access the second element and I am unable to do that. I tried [position=1] and by putting [1] at the end of my xpath expression

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='tableType value']")

the above returns the following 2 elements

I tried

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='tableType value']")[1]
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='tableType value'][position=1]")

Can someone please help me with this?

Thank you

Solution 1

Use

driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//div[@class='tableType value'])[2]")

or

driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//div[@class='tableType value'])[position()=2]")

XPath starts counting at 1, so the second element is at position() 2

Solution 2

Hi please find the below code to click on the second element having the same class names. [1] means if you would like to click on second, [2] means if you would like to click on third....

driver.find_elements_by_class_name('classname')[1].click()

I tried both of them, but still returns both the elements.

Ok. You probably have many nested divs in different contexts. You might need to use additional predicates to better filter your result. Show your code (link to it, and add the relevant parts here). I added parentheses above, which will select only one element, the second in the whole document, but that might not be what you want.
