What to do to select a specific element from a dynamic website with xpath? lets say on the following table: I would like to select the second row,
I plan to select the input image with "icon_edit" as source, but with my current xpath, it is selecting two of them.
//*[normalize-space(td[1])="ok" and not(normalize-space(td[3])) and normalize-space(td[4]="Available")]//*[contains(@src, "icon_edit")]
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>a</th>
<th>b</th>
<th>c</th>
<th>d</th>
<th>e</th>
<th>f</th>
<th>Actions</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span>ok</span></td>
<td><span>has date</span></td>
<td><span>has date</span></td>
<td><span>Available</span></td>
<td><span>1</span></td>
<td><span></span></td>
<td><input type="image" src="../../Images/icon_edit_Grey.gif">
<input type="image" src="../../Images/icon_delete_Grey.gif">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span>ok</span></td>
<td><span>has date</span></td>
<td><span></span></td>
<td><span>Available</span></td>
<td><span>1</span></td>
<td><span></span></td>
<td><input type="image" src="../../Images/icon_edit_Grey.gif">
<input type="image" src="../../Images/icon_delete_Grey.gif">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span>ok</span></td>
<td><span>has date</span></td>
<td><span></span></td>
<td><span>Not Available</span></td>
<td><span>1</span></td>
<td><span></span></td>
<td><input type="image" src="../../Images/icon_edit_Grey.gif">
<input type="image"src="../../Images/icon_delete_Grey.gif">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span>Not ok</span></td>
<td><span>has date</span></td>
<td><span></span></td>
<td><span>Available</span></td>
<td><span>2</span></td>
<td><span></span></td>
<td><input type="image" src="../../Images/icon_edit_Grey.gif">
<input type="image" src="../../Images/icon_delete_Grey.gif">
</td>
</tr>
<table>
</body>
</html>

You made a typo in third predicate. Just replace
normalize-space(td[4]="Available")
with
normalize-space(td[4])="Available"
Note that normalize-space(td[4]="Available")
always return true
while normalize-space(td[4])="Available"
return true
if required condition is met
