my C# code for GetHtmlDocument:

protected HtmlDocument GetHtmlDocument(string sUrl, Encoding oEncoding, bool bSetContentType = true) {

    string sPostData = "GET";
    string sReferer = string.Empty;
    List < string > oCookies = new List < string > ();
    string sHtmlContent = string.Empty;
    string sRedirectUrl = string.Empty;
    return GetHtmlDocument(sUrl, sPostData, sReferer, oCookies, ContentType.html, out sRedirectUrl, out sHtmlContent, oEncoding, bSetContentType);
}

protected HtmlDocument GetHtmlDocument(string sUrl, string sPostData, string sReferer, List < string > oCookies, ContentType eContentType, out string sRedirectUrl, out string sHtmlContent, Encoding oEncoding, bool bSetContentType = true) {

    HttpStatusCode oHttpStatusCode = SingleHttpRequest(sUrl, sPostData, sReferer, oCookies, ContentType.html, out sRedirectUrl, out sHtmlContent, oEncoding, true, bSetContentType);
    if (oHttpStatusCode != HttpStatusCode.OK) {
        string sMsg = string.Format("SingleHttpRequest to '{0}' returned '{1}' status", sUrl, oHttpStatusCode);
        LOG.Error(sMsg);
        throw new Exception(sMsg);
    }
    HtmlDocument oHtmlDocument = new HtmlDocument();
    LOG.DebugFormat("sHtmlContent : \n{0}\n , sUrl : {1}", sHtmlContent, sUrl);
    oHtmlDocument.LoadHtml(sHtmlContent);
    return oHtmlDocument;
}

HtmlDocument oSearchHtmlDocument = GetHtmlDocument(sSearchUrl, false);
HtmlNode o = oSearchHtmlDocument.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//*[@id='more_madad_nav']//ul[@class='second_level']//li/a[contains(@href,'about')]/@href"); //this is the line!

I'm trying to get the first href from the "second level"(/he/market_data/company/2135/about?securityId=1158823) Thanks for the help

Answer 1

Try Query nav/ul/li[1]/ul/li[1]/a/@href

See Testing result below

Answer 2

Use the following xpath

//*[@id='more_madad_nav']//ul[@class='second_level']//li/a[contains(@href,'about')]

Demo:

UPdate To get the attribute value in C#

string element  = driver.FindElement(By.Xpath("/*[@id='more_madad_nav']/ul[@class='first_level']//ul[@class='second_level']//li/a[contanins(@href,'about')]")).GetAttribute("href");
