    Sorry nedbacan , I thought I was responding to your message but it was trevino912 !

     

    If your project is set to use XPath, then the Object Spy tool will show you the query e.g. "//a[.='< Home']"

     

    Also, if you use Keyword Testing and check the properties of the object, you will see the XPath that TC has identified.

    Yes, I have used the Object Spy, but still don't know how to use XPath to locate web page elements by their unique path (the example above) within the HTML structure of the page
