Note: find
will wait for an element to appear on the page, as explained in the Ajax section. If the element does not appear it will raise an error.
Note: In XPath the expression //
means something very specific, and it might not be what you think. Contrary to common belief, //
means "anywhere in the document" not "anywhere in the current context".
