In this section, you will learn how to locate a particular web element by XPath- starts-with() method.

The syntax for locating elements through XPath- Using starts-with() method can be written as:

//<HTML tag>[starts-with(@attribute_name,'attribute_value')]

or

//*[starts-with(@attribute_name,'attribute_value')]

findElement(By.xpath("//*[starts-with(@id,'lst')]"));
