unable to locate dynamic web element.

I tried so many times below snippet but did not work.Error is Unable to locate element: {".//*[@id='mathq2']"}

driver.get("http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/");
Thread.sleep(2000L);
String text = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='mathq2']")).getText();
System.out.println("text --->" +text);

If any help is appreciated in advance.

Thanks,
Arahant

I have tried below code and is working for me

Code:

String test = driver.findElement(By.id("mathq2")).getText();
System.out.println(test);

I think you have to remove the dot from the dot form the xpath. Never have '.' in your xpath.
