The HTML class attribute is a whitespace-separated list. E.g.,

<div class="aaa bbb ccc">
    ...
</div>

Is there a simple XPath expression that selects all div-s with class aaa (i.e. where the class list contains aaa). I have found a complicated solution (source):

//div[contains(concat(" ", normalize-space(@class), " "), " aaa ")]

Is there a simple solution?

The solution has to work with all major up-to-date browsers, inside Document.evaluate(), which is XPath 1.0, but ultimately I am curious about any solutions in later XPath versions too.

  • If you don't care about anything but aaa, then simply //div[contains(@class,"aaa")] would do. Commented Jun 21 at 13:44

    There is no simpler XPath 1.0 expression that’s equally reliable.The expression you already have is the recommended approach for that XPath version Commented Jun 21 at 14:24
