How to get all td[3] tags from the tr tags with selenium Xpath in python

I have a webpage HTML like this: 

<table class="table_type1" id="sailing">
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td class="multi_row"></td>
      <td class="multi_row"></td>
      <td class="multi_row">1</td>
      <td class="multi_row"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="multi_row"></td>
      <td class="multi_row"></td>
      <td class="multi_row">1</td>
      <td class="multi_row"></td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

and tr tags are dynamic so i don't know how many of them exist, i need all td[3] of any tr tags in a list for some slicing stuff.it is much better iterate with built in tools if find_element(s)_by_xpath("") has iterating tools.

To get the 3 rd td of each row, you can try either with xpath

driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//table[@id="sailing"]/tbody//td[3]')

or you can try with css selector like

driver.find_elements_by_css_selector('table#sailing td:nth-child(3)')

As it is returning list you can iterate with for each,

elements=driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//table[@id="sailing"]/tbody//td[3]')

for element in elements:
    print(element.text)

To print the text e.g. 1 from each of the third <td> you can either use the get_attribute() method or text property and you can use either of the following solutions:

  • Using CssSelector and get_attribute():

    print(driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("table.table_type1#sailing tr td:nth-child(3)").get_attribute("innerHTML"))

  • Using CssSelector and text property:

    print(driver.find_elements_by_css_selector("table.table_type1#sailing tr td:nth-child(3)").text)

  • Using XPath and get_attribute():

    print(driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//table[@class='table_type1' and @id="sailing"]//tr//following::td[3]').get_attribute("innerHTML"))

  • Using XPath and text property:

    print(driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//table[@class='table_type1' and @id="sailing"]//tr//following::td[3]').text)

Try 

cells = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//table[@id='sailing']//tr/td[3]")

to get third cell of each row

Edit

For iterating just use a for loop:

print ([i.text for i in cells])

Try following code :

tdElements = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//table[@id="sailing "]/tbody//td")

Edit : for 3rd element

tdElements = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//table[@id="sailing "]/tbody/tr/td[3]")
