xpath string to select a specific node with specific attribute

Question

I have the follwoing HTML:

<div class=""postrow first""> <h2 class=""title icon""> This is the title </h2> <div class=""content""> <div id=""post_message_1668079""> <blockquote class=""postcontent restore ""> <div>Category</div> line 1<br /> line2 </blockquote> </div> </div> </div> <div class=""postrow""> <h2 class=""title icon""> second title </h2> <div class=""content""> <div id=""post_message_1668079""> <blockquote class=""postcontent restore ""> <div>Category</div> line 1<br /> line2 </blockquote> </div> </div> </div>

What is the xpath string to select all DIVs with attribute is "postrow" or "postrow "

Does //div[@class='postrow'] | //div[@class='postrow '] work? — HAS

This answer assumes that for each "", you actually have " in your document.

There are a number of alternative XPaths available to you. Here are just two:

Using a conditional |:

//div[@class = "postrow"] | //div[@class = "postrow "]
Using starts-with:

//div[starts-with(@class, "postrow")]
