Correct XPath query to fetch div inner text

I am using XPath to query into HTML document where there is following div has text:

<div class="h1">2008 Honda Accord Coupe<small> — Wuse II</small></div>

I wanted to fetch only the inner text of the <div class="h1">2008 Honda Accord Coupe and not include the <small>inner text</small>

I am making following XPath query: //div[@class='h1'] which is definitely returning entire <div>...</div> node.

How can I only fetch portion without <small>...</small>

Solution

  • Use the text() function:

    //div[@class='h1']/text()
