Advanced Web Automation JavaScript / TypeScript Course

Lesson 2: CSS, XPath selectors, DOM, HTML

Welcome to lesson 2 of our advanced web automation course. In this lesson, we will be diving deep into CSS, XPath selectors, the DOM, and HTML. These topics are essential for web automation as they allow us to identify and interact with elements on a webpage.

CSS Selectors

CSS selectors are a powerful way to target elements on a webpage. In this lesson, we will learn about different types of CSS selectors, such as class selectors, id selectors, attribute selectors, and more. Understanding CSS selectors is crucial for writing efficient and robust automation scripts.

XPath Selectors

XPath is another way to locate elements on a webpage. It provides a more flexible way to identify elements based on their attributes, positions, and more. We will explore the syntax and usage of XPath selectors in this lesson.

DOM Manipulation

The Document Object Model (DOM) is a crucial concept for web automation. Understanding how to navigate and manipulate the DOM is essential for interacting with elements on a webpage. In this lesson, we will learn how to traverse the DOM and perform actions on elements using JavaScript or TypeScript.

HTML Basics

Finally, we will review the basics of HTML. Knowing the structure and syntax of HTML is important for understanding how webpages are built and how to interact with their elements. We will cover HTML tags, attributes, and best practices for working with HTML in our automation scripts.

By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid understanding of CSS, XPath selectors, the DOM, and HTML, making you better equipped to write effective and efficient web automation scripts.

It's absolutely necessary to understand the basics of HTML, DOM tree, CSS and XPath selectors before using some high-level selectors provided by any test framework.
Frameworks will change. CSS and XPath selectors will stay.

How to play with HTML locally as I did?
1. download the html file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uN3OfXoPnoEfb_WCGHOHpBUy1sWI1BQX/view?usp=sharing
2. open the file in your favourite code/text editor.
3. change HTML and save it.
4. open this HTML document using any Browser.

Happy learning 🙂

Привіт, цікава твоя думка з приводу вищої освіти. Як ти вважаєш чи потрібна вона для працевлаштування (IT) в Україні або реальних знань у голові і пройдені курси достатньо, а диплом не так уже й важливо?

Я слушал Иллариона на русском.
Потом учил с ним украинску мову.
Теперь перешел вместе с ним, на английский.
