How to access a specific child div using xpath? (Selenium Java)

I have the following html code:

<div class="panel">
    <div class = "heading">
        <span class="wName">Name</span>
        <div class="foo1" style="display: none;"></div>
        <div class="foo2" style="display: none;"></div>
    </div>
</div>

I already located element panel and I'm trying to test when foo2 doesn't appear with the following line of code:

if (panel.findElement(By.xpath("../div[@class='foo2']")).getCssValue("display").equals("none"))

I'm not sure why this won't retrieve the element properly.

How about you use descendant

panel.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='panel']/descendant::div[@class='foo2']"));

Your XPath is wrong! .. means "parent of". Single dot . would mean relative to current location.

Try: panel.findElement(By.xpath(".//div[@class='foo2']")
