Selenium Finding Element within Element

Question

I know this question seems to have been asked before, but when I try emulating the responses that worked for others, there is still an issue.

My code is:

table = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="tabdocsumtable"]/tbody')      
entries = table.find_elements_by_class('rprt')

I am getting

AttributeError: 'WebElement' object has no attribute 'find_element_by_class'

How about table.find_elements_by_class_name? I'll post as an answer if leaving off _name was your issue. — mrfreester

According to the python binding docs, it looks like the method for python is find_elements_by_class_name.

So this line:

entries = table.find_elements_by_class('rprt')

should be:

entries = table.find_elements_by_class_name('rprt')
