I am using the absolute XPATH to select the element and it's working fine but as we all aware of we should be using 'Relative XPATH' or something better and unique. If the structure of the web page changes then my absolute xpath will not work. I am looking for help to build relative xpath. — Akki

It's hard to suggest good selector with provided HTML sample. Can you share more ancestors? — Andersson

You can try below XPath to locate required elements:

"(//tr[@class='inputtextfields']/td/div)[1]" // For "Firstname1234Lastname"

and

"(//tr[@class='inputtextfields']/td/div)[2]" // For "Firstname45671Lastname"
