I am using selenium ide for finding the locators,here I got a locator 'link=History of *' which works in selenium ide but when I use the same locator in web driver code it fails.
Says " Unable to locate element: {"method":"link text","selector":"History of .*"} ".
Does selenium support regular expressions in its locators?
Please help me out in this.
Naveen,
Without being about to see your page DOM, I can't give you a very clear answer.
Here is some documentation for using Selenium IDE page locators
http://www.seleniumhq.org/docs/02_selenium_ide.jsp#locating-elements
There is a section on regular expression usage on that page that might be helpful.
