Seach by class in Nokogiri nodeset

Tag: ruby,xpath,nokogiri

I got the name of a CSS class from a Nokogiri node. Now I want to find all the nodes that also have the same class attached.

I don't know which HTML tag the element that I'm looking for has, and how deep it is. All i know is what class to search for.

I have already tried:

doc.xpath("//*[contains(@class, #{css})]")

But this seems to return WAY too many elements.

Also I have tried:

doc.xpath("//*[@class, #{css}]")

and this returns nothing.

I want to get the elements that contain that class, not every element that surrounds an element with that class.

Is it possible to do this with Nokogiri?

Best How To :

Assuming that the class name is stored into class_name, I think that

doc.xpath("//*[contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' #{class_name} ')]")

is what you're looking for.

This will match all the elements that contain class_name into their classes, ie if class_name is 'box', then it will match both elements like div class="box" and elements like div class="box left"

If you only want to match elements like div class="box" ie that have only one class and that class is the one you're looking for, then you could use this:

doc.xpath("//*[@class=\"#{class_name}\"]")

Allowing some enabled and disabled option on collection_select

ruby-on-rails,ruby

collection_select internally relies on options_from_collection_for_select helper. Rather than using the collection_select directly, you can use select and pass the result of a options_from_collection_for_select call. The reason you may want to call options_from_collection_for_select directly, is because this method also accepts an optional selected parameter that could be used to pass a...
