Q

How to dump all HTML elements of a Web page with WebDriver in Python?

A

If you want to dump all HTML elements of a Web page with WebDriver, you can search child element recursively using the find_elements_by_xpath() method:

element.find_elements_by_xpath() - Searches and returns all HTML elements that matches the given XPATH within this element.

Here is an example program that dumps all HTML elements of the loaded Web page.

# DumpElements.py
# Copyright (c) FYIcenter.com 
from selenium.webdriver import Chrome

def printTag(tag, space):
   list = tag.find_elements_by_xpath("./*")
   if (len(list)==0):
   	  print(space+"<"+tag.tag_name+"/>")
   else: 
      print(space+"<"+tag.tag_name+">")
      for child in list:
         printTag(child,space+"  ")
      print(space+"</"+tag.tag_name+">")

driver = Chrome()
driver.get("http://sqa.fyicenter.com")
html = driver.find_element_by_tag_name("html")
printTag(html,"")
driver.quit()

Run the program, you will see that all elements of the Web page are dumped in the output:

C:\fyicenter> python DumpElements.py

<html>
  <head>
    <meta>
    </meta>
    <meta>
    </meta>
    ...
    <link>
    </link>
    <title>
    </title>
    <script>
    </script>
    <script>
    </script>
	...
    <link>
    </link>
    <script>
    </script>
    <link>
    </link>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div>
      <div>
        <p>
        </p>
        <p>
          <a>
          </a>
        </p>
        <p>
          <a>
          </a>
        </p>
        <p>
...		
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

The output looks good. But element attributes are not included in the output. See the next tutorial on how the dump HTML attributes.
