How to select a table record depending on table element using selenium webdriver

Question

A table has 2 or more rows (depending on previous action) and the contents are not ordered. One of the column has unique elements. I need to select the row depending on the unique element using selenium webdriver (java). I am passing the locators using an excel sheet.

For eg, I have the following kind of table:

Select Name Id

Radio_button ABC Id1

Radio_button ABC Id2

Suppose for the above table, the order of the rows are not same all the time and depending on id value, I need to select the correct radio button. How do I identify the correct radio button depending on the id value?

Use xpath for finding your element:

//tr[*[@id='id1']]//input

This is a locator for Radio_button that is in the same row as id1. If you provide your html code of the table, the answer will be more precisely, but the general idea is clear, I suppose.

Though the selenium doesnt give any error for the xpath (verifyVisible), which you had mentioned , am not able to click/check on that particular radio button.

It identifies only the first radio button and checks on that.

Problem got solved with the xpath //td[contains(text(),'id1')]/../td[1]/input

Of course it will identify not your actual radiobutton as you didn't provide any code. In my xpath you should just replace @id with text() and it will work too: //tr[*[contains(text(),'id1')]]//input. Also use add comment instead of Add another answer if you want to reply on somebody's answer.
