Xpath - How to select parent based on attribute of child?
How do you select a parent based on the attribute of a child?
I want to select a div:
//*[@id='outer']/div/div/div/div
that has a child with the 'a href' attribute equal to 'www.blah.com':
//*[@id='outer']/div/div/div/div/a[@href='www.blah.com']

The basic fact you need is that predicates can be nested:-
//*[@id='outer']/div/div/div/div[a[@href='www.blah.com']]
