How to select click on text inside div by text

Hi,

This is the problem faced by one of the selenium user that how to click on the div on basis of text instead of id.

For example:
<div id="MainTreeMenuTreeWebPanelMainTree_1_2">
<span style="padding-left: 16px;"/>
<span>New Contact History</span>
</div>

Solution for above problem :
There is 2 way to do it.

• First If you span text is unique on the screen and is clickable, then you can use link=New Contact
  History
  
  Second way to create a dom/xpath for that span which contain the text, //div[@id='MainTreeMenuTreeWebPanelMainTree']/span[@text='New Contact
  History']

So, by these 2 ways you can click on your element by name.

Best Of luck.
