Identify if an element has rel="nofollow" attribute using CSS for selenium tests

I am using CSS selectors as the element locators for selenium test scripts.

Now, I want to che开发者_高级运维ck if an element has a rel="nofollow" attribute using CSS.

Does any one know how to check this?

The question isn't 100% clear on what you're trying to do, but I'll try to answer anyway.

If I'm reading you correctly, you're working within the Selenium script language, and you want to determine your the Selenium script that the page contains an <a> element that has rel='nofollow' attribute.

According to the Selenium reference page, this should be possible, as Selenium supports most CSS selectors (the exception except pseudo selectors, but they're not relevant for you here).

It also supports DOM references and XPath references, so one way or the other you should be able to check just about anything.

For CSS, the syntax is css=cssSelector, so in your case this would be css=a[rel=nofollow].

This selector will check the page for any <a> element with the rel=nofollow attribute. If you need to check if a specific element has this attribute, then modify the selector to include the ID or class of the element you want - eg a#myspecificelement[rel=nofollow]

This would be used with a Selenium command such as assertElementPresent() to check that the element is present, or a range of other possible Selenium commands.

Hope that helps.

a[rel="nofollow"]

Won't work in all browsers.

A better solution would be to use jquery who selectors are supported in all browsers

$('a[rel="nofollow"]')
