Can any one tell me the css selector for this expression: -

xpath = a[contains(text(),'dbfsbdj')]

i have tried a:contains('dbfsbdj') - invalid ?

you can't select element text content css.

if want use javascript, (jsfiddle):

var paragraphs = document.getelementsbytagname('p');  [].slice.call(paragraphs).foreach(function(p) {     if(p.textcontent.indexof('world') > -1) {         console.log(p);     } });  // => <p>world</p> 

html:

<p>hello</p>  <p>world</p> 

you make little function this:

var paragraphs = document.getelementsbytagname('p');  console.log(contains(paragraphs, 'world')); // => [<p>world</p>]  function contains(_elements, text) {     var elements = [];      [].slice.call(_elements).foreach(function(p) {         if(p.textcontent.indexof('world') > -1) {             elements.push(p);         }     });         return elements;  }
