Did you support Selenium Proposal at area51?

There is an effort from SeleniumHQ to migrate selenium user forum from Google Groups to more snazzy and user friendly Stack Exchange. You can find more on this here

So please go ahead and commit to - http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/4693/selenium

To do so, you need to login to Stack Exchange site using Google/Yahoo id

Now click on Commit button and

Fill in a bit of details and yes one more thing is pending yet! You need to confirm your email address only after which your commitment would appear on site.

And do pass it on to other Selenium enthusiasts in your contact list.

Since most you have been wondering about advantages of Stackoverflow site over Google Groups, here are the couple of pointers -

# As soon as you type in Title for question in Stack Exchange site, it
shows related question. This makes it easy to find if such question is
already asked. No such feature with Google Groups.
# Being able to tag your question in Stack Exchange site which is not
possible with Google Groups. This makes searching on such tagged
questions absolutely easy. No similar feature with Google groups.
# Formatting of question(bold, italic, hyperlink etc), distinguishing
code block from rest of the post to make it stand out are excellent
features of Stack Exchange site. Google groups just can not with stand
these.
# You earn reputation for every answers which is marked as right, this
gives you more credibility on site. Again Google Groups lacks this.
# Being able to thumbs up or down a specific question or answer, and
in fact close it eventually if it is off topic for site. No similar
feature on Google Groups.

Using xPath to reach parent of an element

Note: If you are new to java and selenium then start with selenium java training videos . I prefer css locator over xPath but there are times when css locators don't fit requirement. One such requirement is when you want to navigate to parent element of an element and may be parent of parent and even more. Unfortunately css locators don't provide any mechanism to navigate to parent of an element. See this for more. Of late I came across a scenario when I wanted to click on a link depending upon the text in a text box. Herein parent of text box and parent of link were at the same location. More over there could have been many such combinations in application. Fortunately I just need to pick first such instance and Web Driver any way considers only first instance when multiple locators are found matching an element. Element in question is in following html - Here I need to click on highlighted anchor on the basis of input element (which is also hig...
