Unable to click on the webelement in IE10 in selenum webdriver

Question

I am facing issue in clicking on a webelement in IE 10, the web element can be identified only by linktext or using xpath as //b[text()='abc']

The length of the text is more than 15 characters, I tried using partial link text.

In console it displayed as 'clicked on the element' but actually it does not click.

Answer 1

I doubt the b element would be really clickable. Most likely it is the parent of b:

//*[b[contains(.,'abc')]]

or:

//b[contains(.,'abc')]/..
