I'm trying to get the href values inside the widget-content div.
How would I target these links using xpath and ignore any other link on the page such as the one for "Archives" so that I end up just with these values:
http://myblog.com/blogs/my_name/2010/10/
http://myblog.com/blogs/my_name/2010/09/
http://myblog.com/blogs/my_name/2010/08/
http://myblog.com/blogs/my_name/2010/07/
... etc ...

Launch the Chrome browser and navigate to the URL or webpage. Hover the mouse over the desired element (object) on the web page, right-click on the element you are looking for XPath, and select “Inspect.”
The intent is to locate the fields using XPath. Go to the First name tab and right click >> Inspect. On inspecting the web element, it will show an input tag and attributes like class and id. Use the id and these attributes to construct XPath which, in turn, will locate the first name field.
We are using response. css() to select all the elements with the class title and the tag a. Then we are using the ::attr(href) to select the href attribute of all the elements we have selected. Then we are using the getall() to get all the values of the href attribute.
//div[@class="widget-content"]//a/@href
That should give you the href values of links that are ONLY inside the widget-content DIV.
